Can a VP be indicted?
Or does he/she have to be impeached?

1. He can have both done to him/her.
Spiro Agnew was indicted for tax evasion and resigned. Imo, if he had not resigned, he would have been impeached for the commission of a felony.

5. VP can be indicted, President no.
Both can face civil suits, as Clinton did with Paula Jones'.

2. IIRC they changed the Law when Clinton was in power so that Whatsher
Hoozits (The Arkansas gal who sued for sexual harassment) could sue a sitting president in a civil matter.

a criminal matter may need impeachment :shrug:

4. Sure, Spiro Agnew was indicted in 1973 and resigned shortly
thereafter.
