Imagine that you have objectProxy that is a result of your evaluation. Try
typing the following:

element.appendChild(new WebInspector.ObjectPropertiesSection(objectProxy,
watchedExpression, null, true).element);

That will render what you need in one line. What doesn't work here for you? As
I mentioned in this bug, rendering primitive values could be trickier, but you
can check for the typeof and render it manually in one line.

No, it would not. There are generic capabilities that would be reused for that.
Like dumping object structure in console (by means of dir(object)), allows
getting and rendering arbitrary objects. You don't need to write an object
explorer - it is already in place.
