Can clear vinyl tubing be used in sump?

Yes. I use clear vinyl tubing on my return pump. I purchase it at Lowe's.

I like the reinforced vinyl tubing. . .not because I need the high pressure rating, but they don't kink as easily. If you have any bright lights, you may start accumulating algae in the tubing, though. Spaflex is also a good option if you want something fairly flexible.
