Hi guys I just want to know if this Compact Fluorescent T2 bulb will work good enough indoors for some of my VFTs? And how far should I put the bulb from them?

It will be OK but generate some heat you will have to deal with.
I prefer a pair of 100W equivalent Daylight LED bulbs.

Just my two cents worth.
