Quote: Is it just the ability to resize (scale) images more easily or are there more important qualities to using this type of format that I do not know of?

This is part of it. With vector art you also have more choices for the use of the art. Sign companies can use it for vinyl cutting, engraving, etc.

Vector art is not resolution dependent like raster images.

Quote: Also, can any image I create be turned into a vector image?

To an extent. Depends on the image and knowledge of vector creation as to whether you or anyone can duplicate the raster image in vector.

Quote: and are vector images the same as photoshop brushes, according to a few other design/art sites some argue they are?

Yes and No this is a hard question to answer. They are vector paths yet have major limitations as to what you can do with them outside of photoshop

Also some shops do not know how to separate from raster images thus request vector. I can work with both easily yet it has taken me all 11 years to know what I know and I still learn something new every day.
