Vladimir has a very stable, dependable, technically free harrassment tool with his Q. You could use your Q instead of AAs to harass and without much cost, which is why you don't want both hitting you, or else a good chunk of your health is gone.

His AA range was always 450 even when he was designed by Riot to go mid, so no, your last statement is incorrect. It just so happens now that he can go top and dominate and his AA range is pretty balanced for a top laner.
