"insight --version" is a command line option. You should be able to use
this from the command shell, provided Insight is on your path.
Alternatively, use "show version" from the console window while insight
is running.

To see if you can actually connect to the simulator properly, type (in
the console window):

(gdb) target sim
(gdb) load
(gdb) break main
(gdb) run

If that works, the line that is blue in your image should turn green,
indicating the current PC is at that line.

If that much works (and there are no errors printed to the console
window), insight should work, too. You may have to set the target
settings manually using File->Target Settings... (the target settings
dialog).
