Not sure if D drive has any bad sectors and thought of running chkdsk before running ESEUTIL/p

Off topic, but you are going to want to migrate your Exchange 2007 server to something that is supported...Exchange 2013, 2016, O365.

If something does go sideways are are basically on your own as MS won't be able to help you with Exchange 2007. It is out of support and they will tell you to go pound sand.

Like wise can I run Eseutil /D on a computer that doesn't have exchange to check how long it take to complete.

It is not requirement.

Make a backup copy of Exchange DB before running eseutil command.
