You can find Vampires (hostile) in caves and fort (abandoned), like Fort Redman which is south of the mouth of the panther. Bring Cure Disease potions, for being a vampire is not as fun as it seems. Thats from expirience. it makes you face look weird and the sun hurts, with out any real bonuses
I have a vampire character myself in another game and it is rather fun. Quite exciting when caught out in the wilderness with dawn aproaching. :-p
As for the last question. I am afraid not, no. Although some NPCs may not speak to you.
