For the most part you are correct.  On a switch you wil only see traffic
that is directed to your machine.  But depending on the switch, you may
be able to do port monitoring and have traffic sent to the port you are
connected to.  So check your documentation and see if that is available.

All those programs are fine, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be

able to see all the traffic. That depends if your machines are connected

via a switch or hub. I'm not a networking expert, but I think with a 
switch, you'll only see traffic directed to your own machine and 
probably broadcast traffic.
