I am curious can I use DbgEng extension without WinDbg. For example is it possible to use DbgEng extension from managed .NET application?

You can write applications around dbgeng.dll, but it is not a trivial task. Documentation is scarce, and you have to write a lot of plumbing code. However, if you want to build a debugger in managed code, I recommend that you check out mdbg, which is a debugger build around ICorDebug. Full source code is available, so it is a good source to learn about how to implement a debugger.
