Balrogs were Maiar, as was Sauron. If they were equal, I don't think it would have been an easy task for Sauron to force them under his will. And as you know, Gandalf had trouble with one, so you know right there that it would be a pretty tough task. Besides, there weren't many of them either. I think it's about seven total or something, and not all of them are alive. So that isn't anywhere near enough for an army, and it answers your second question. Hope that helps.
