There are a variety of methods to elicit non-functional requirements.  One method that I use is to identify upfront (before the project even starts) the main categories of non-functional requirements as well as a standard set of questions to ask for each type of non-functional requirements.

Here are some key categories of non-functional requirements:
1. GUI look and feel requirements
2. Performance requirements
3. Availability requirements
4. Security requirements
5. Capacity requirements
6. Exception Handling requirements
7. Logging requirements
8. Extensibility requirements
9. Data Retention requirements
etc.

Then for each type of non-functional requirement you could develop standard questions or just as more general questions such as: "Data Retention: do you have any requirements related to how long data (or certain types of data) should be retained by the system?"

Hope this helps!

How do you identify the basic flow? What would you do if someone was struggling to determine the basic flow for a use case?

Actually use case can be tracked / identified through business requirement document or functional requirement documents. Because these use cases are prepared on the basis of each requirements or process mentioned in the documents.
