I'm sorry but this gives the impression that this dlc was rushed out to release before ready. Very disappointing, specially considering the lack of single player content and on top of that, the lack of any documentation on the new modules for mission editing.

No dude the dlc is not Rushed , just you need to waiting , for more information of the Mechanic of module.

Dude i have tested the The tracker Module for you , Just you need to add the tracker module where you want the ennemis start to track you . In the module choose the Number of ennemis Exempel : Patrol , sentry ect . The ennemy spawn when you are close to the module and track you . Is realy Easy , For more Command just wait 😉

As an extra if you use "trakers" instead of "sentry" and add a "Tracker Groups Reinforcements Requester" module, every time a group spots you 2 fire teams of 4 will be call in on your approximate position.
Moreover, you can use the latter module also with Editor pre-place enemy groups by syncing them with the module itself. Remeber each requests will spawn 2 fire teams.

A few questions;

How do you use the Tracker module on its own with a faction other than PAVN?
Does the Tracker module only affect units already placed in the editor or does will it spawn them on its own at the "level" it's set at (sentry, trackers, patrol, etc.)? ie Can you just place the module and not have to place any actual units down or do you have to place units and link them to the module? Does it have to have the Tracker Group Reinforcement Requester in order to spawn more of the same level in, or just to get a higher level of enemies to spawn?

We don't know much so far. Devs don't frequent this forums and the Wiki is slow coming. What we know so is that the tracker will spawn it's own units. I recommend that you build a mission with SSPCM and activate zeus from there. You will be able to see all the tracker units and how they operate.

From my testing, you have 3 options.
1st Tracker Area alone. No reinforcements. Selection will have:
a- Sentry = 9 groups of 2
b- Patrol = 6 groups of 4
c- Avalanche = 5 groups of 12
2nd Tracker Area + Tracker Group Reinforcement Requester. In this case you need to select "Trackers", which will spawn 9 groups of 2, but each of them, when entering the combat mode will call 2 Fire Teams of 4 (the 2 teams will spawn nearby)
3rd Tracker Group Reinforcement Requester synched with group leader of Editor placed group. Same, the group when in combat will call in 2 Fire Teams. (you can also still use the Tracker Area set on "Trackers" too.)

NOTE. Reducing the size of the Area will change the numbers of groups (I don't think is directly connected, but the system clearly checks the "spawning distance from player", avoiding spawning large groups too close). Placing 2 Areas nearby will have the first activated slowly de-spawning groups, while the new one the player entered start spawning in. I love the system. It allows to have enemy patrolling around the Area I am playing.

WARNING. using Tracker Area (set on trackers)+ Group Reinforcement Requester for me got the enemy total number going up to 60/70 AI every time.

Is possibel to change the side and army from cfg i think ,

private _enemySide = _logic getVariable ["vn_enemySide", EAST];
private _runCondition = _logic getVariable ["vn_runConditionCode", {true}];
private _alert = _logic getVariable ["vn_alert", 0];

params [
["side", EAST, [sideUnknown]],
["army", "VN", [""]]
];
