tool or software to determine the power consumption at instruction level

There is no "software" that could do that, unless you perform one instruction over-and-over and measure the power consumption with a kill-a-watt (or something more accurate).

but the monitoring software is consisting of instructions... so any monitoring software would cause a change in power.

the question is why?
