I dunno much about football strategy but I could imagine that if the opposing team is running a 4-3 front, I would want to go with 2 TE sets to create more gaps than they have downlinemen to cover. And maybe run up the middel with a FB against 5-2 front. Against single safety defences Id want to sweep (in the match orders) and against two safeties Id prefer the inside runs.

Is this a proper way to choose the formation for running offence in GI? My players' key skills are so low and very close to each other that the opposing front might be a bigger factor than the skills. And Im not going to throw the ball with this line. Where's the checkbox for the option offence?

By the way if I am not interested in throwing the ball, should I still use a WR or two to spread the D? What again were the CBs doing in running plays if theyr tackles are not in the stats?

I don't think the CB gets involved in outside running plays...at least the (missed) tackling statistics don't indicate it.
