Its always better to take the wallpaper off but if you're feeling lazy use this:

Use the stuff all the time when taking the paper off is going to be a real difficult job.

If the vinyl is well stuck down then yes, you can paint over it no problem, I was quite surprised when I for saw this done, but it stick well and ive never seen it flake.
Straight on with two coats of matt or silk....but you may be dissapointed with the result, joints that you cant see now may show up once painted.
Its fine if your looking for a quick fix.....if your looking long term, as Minul says, you really should strip the walls, making sure you give them a really good scrub too in order to remove any excess paste. Better still, line it then paint it.
