It is an acid. It helps reduce the amount of pH in the plant tissue. If the pH is less that 3.0, the enzyme will be inactivated so the fruit does not turn brown. The enzyme is the main cause for the apple to turn brown. It encourages the oxygen to react with the apple cells.

Yes it can, but the problem is that you wouldn't have the taste of apple anymore. You could use Lemon/Lime/Pineapple Juice. Basically acidity helps but ruins the taste of the fruit itself.

I just researched and found out that Ziploc bag is the most effective and cheapest way to keep it from browning by just sucking up the air when you seal bag.

Did you maybe use brown vinegar instead of white? Next time try squeezing a little lemon juice over the cut surfaces.
