How long will it take to learn the Kanji in Heisig's way and do sentences in Anki (I am putting up my own sentences)? Also is Heisig's way good enough for learning Kanji? Or what is the best way to learn vocabulary?

It is hard to tell you exactly how long RtK will take, as it is a function of how much work you are willing to put in on a daily basis. The fastest I have heard of is about two weeks to complete the book (reviewing would still have to continue), whereas others has taken it slowly over many months. I'd say the most important thing is to find a pace that you can keep somewhat consistently.

RtK is a good way to learn the kanjis. People seems to prefer learning their vocabulary in many different ways, so I'd suggest you try looking different methods up and just test them for yourself to see what works for you.

I think this is fine if you do RTK before anything else, but if you prefer to do basic vocab and grammar alongside RTK like me I would recommend 15/day at most (of course you can always decide to more on some days when you feel like it, but keeping the review counts in check is very important). Moving too fast is dangerous because the "review recoil" doesn't occur right away. Until you know how many reviews you can handle daily, it's better to stay on the safe side. Consistency and perseverance are much more important than speed, even if you have plenty of time and want to get started with real reading/watching/listening/etc as soon as possible.

But that way you'll never find out how many you can handle, unless you're limited by time and the speed of your reviews.
