Any antenna can receive anything, but not very well unless it's the correct length for the frequency you're trying to receive. Yes, this antenna will work well so you will not need a special FM only antenna.
VHF signals are essentially Line of sight transmissions (LOS). Like all radio waves they are attenuated by objects in their path. Raising the aerial above the level of the interferring objects while still maintaining an integral waveform (Usually using an artificial ground plane or aerials less than 1/2 lambna), reduces the attenuation and prevents distortion of the polarization pattern thus leading to an efficient transmission path.

You need a VHF radio antenna, a VHF radio receiver and of course a station broadcasting on the VHF frequency.
VHF is "line of sight" communication only, as the signal travels in a straight line (like visible light). A taller antenna will be able to "see further" over the horizon and thus have longer range.
Because VHF signals have a line of sight limitation.
Generally speaking, VHF or UHF radio. VHF is also used to communicate with ground personnel (heli logging, SAR, firefighting, etc). The 'system' consists of a radio, antenna cable, and external antenna. an intermediate antenna switch can be used to allow multiple radios of the same band to use the same external antenna.
There are many places online to buy a VHF antenna. The best place would be the Motorola website. They also sell them at Amazon, Alie Express, and Radio Communications online.

Yes, a UHF antenna can pick up VHF signals, but not well. The size difference makes the uhf antenna "inefficient" for the longer vhf wave length, but some energy can be received by the uhf antenna.
A household would still need a VHF antenna if their broadcaster is using a tower that broadcasts signals using VHF. You can check this by calling your cable service provider.
