No. The only religion in the Vatican is (Roman) Catholic-Christianity. However, there are many people of different religions or none at all that visit the Vatican for history-learning purposes only and there may be (on occasion) a leader of a different religion might meet with the pope; though its quite rare as the current Pope only meets with Catholics and other Christians not part of the Catholic Church.

The Vatican has an official religion and that is Catholicism within Christianity. In a way (in some respect) the Vatican is the official "headquarters" of Catholicism and not any other religion.

Are other religions allowed in the Vatican?

The state religion of Vatican City is Roman Catholicism, and it is governed by the Catholic Church, so you have to be Catholic to do most government and bureaucratic work. However, there are many other jobs in Vatican City which do not require applicants to be any particular religion. Also, anyone with a valid passport is allowed to visit, regardless of religion. There are no places of worship that aren't Catholic, but that's probably because there's no space for them.

What are the duties of a Vatican?

I assume by your statement, a Vatican is a permanent resident of Vatican City. The duties could be anything from that as the head of state (pope), other Vatican officials who are in charge of or work in other ecclesiastical offices of the Vatican, members of the Swiss Guard or Vatican Police, maintenance workers, custodians, food workers, museum curators and workers, and any number of other positions. Each one has its prescribed duties and it is impossible to list all the job descriptions here.
