AFAIK, Visual Studio isn't and never has been available to run on OS X, so you'd have to either run it under Boot Camp or a VM app, such as Parallels Desktop (I'm a Parallels user, so that's what I usually reommend).

In this course you'll learn about Visual Studio Mac, the most powerful and complete integrated development environment, or IDE, available on the platform for building Xamarin. NET Core applications.
Is 256GB enough? Just barely. I've a lean, mean 512GB SSD and I use just a portion of that with a full 377GB free (after I finally consolidated my entire iTunes library onto an external drive). And I run XP under Parallels. SO you could get by with 256GB. And, if you wish to upgrade later, OWC has a 480GB storage card that you can install - for $580 (compare that to the cost of the Apple 512GB upgrade - I think that you come out cheaper with Apple).
Yes, you could get by with 256GB - keeping in mind that you can always upgrade to a larger capacity card later on.

I haven’t find TFS in Visual Studio for mac, Is any alternative tools available for that.

TFS is a rather broad term and describes a whole suite of solutions. I’m assuming that you mean the version control section for my answer.
There is no support for TFVC, which is the older versioning control system that used to be default in TFS.
Since some time now, TFS and VSTS (basically the cloud hosted version of TFS) have switched to Git. Git is supported from Visual Studio for Mac as well as a lot of other tools of course.
If you still want to use TFVC, I have only found one option which isn't pretty. I installed Eclipse (the IDE for Java) which has a plugin for the TFVC version control. It looks and works pretty similar to how it looks in Visual Studio for Windows. It has some quirks and I would be surprised if it is still actively maintained, so use with caution and if you have the possibility look into switching to Git.
Edit though they seem to be working on it! If you check out the linked blog post you will see that support is in the works and I think there is a preview you can download today.

Gerald VersluisGerald VersluisFor Visual Studio Mac, TFS is supported for now. There has been a uservocie, you can vote up and monitor it.
TFS Version Control
However, this is only a preview feature as you can see the comment from PM:
I’m happy to say that our first preview of this feature is now available – check out the announcement blog post.
I’ll continue to share out updates here as we make updates to the preview.

According to the comment below the blog post, it seems not stable for now. If you want a more stably solution of using TFS source control on Mac, you could try to use Visual Studio Code, which is more of a fast, lightweight code editor.
With the help of Visual Studio Team Services extension on Visual Studio Code, it allows you to connect to Team Services and Team Foundation Server and provides support for both Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) and GIT. More details can be found at Connect VS code with TFS on mac
