Did they pronounce Dain the correct way in the film?

I think they said it like Dane for Dain.
Remember though you never had a tolkien expert sit beside you and tell you how to pronounce the names correctly as they did for the films 
As for Azog (more a general reply) i dont see this film as a standalone film - it doesnt seem like it could do that as well as lotr trilogy but to me it doesnt matter as i will probably only ever watch them in one go from 1-3 once all are released.
I think it would have been harder to make the movie without a central villian but i think could have been done, but as others said, would have felt even less like a standalone film. I really dont know, i dislike the character but can see why they added him.
Someone will do another adaptation of the hobbit and maybe they wont have an Azog type character?

Would the film have worked without Azog's revenge plot?

Yes, movies have been criticized for being too close to the book.
