Vidalia onions are a type of sweet onion grown in Georgia. They are Vidalia onions only because of the area they are grown in, near Vidalia, Georgia. However the onions grown in the area are unusually sweet due to low sulfur in the soil.
Yes, the substitution can be made. However, it is important to be aware that vidalia onions are generally a sweeter and more mild onion and so you should start out with less of a red onion than you would with the vidalia to make sure that the end result is not too strong. Depending on the recipe, you can try carmelizing the red onion which will decrease it's "strength" to counteract the difference in flavors.
Sure, I have used what onions I had on hand white, purple and yellow.

yes you can... but you wont get the same favor as you would if you used the salt. I hope that helped Personally I prefer onion powder to onion salt. You can control the amount of salt you add to the dish, and onion powder is more cost efficient because you get more flavor for about the same price.
Leeks have a flavor that is similar to onions, and it is possible to get leek soup mix (although it is not nearly a widely distributed as onion soup mix) which can be quite delicious. Beyond that, there are lots of soup mixes, experiment and find one you like.

NO, but you could use the onion skin when making your natural beef stock, which would then be used making the onion soup. Use Vidalia onions and green peppercorns in your recipe .
You could use green onions or onion powder.
A tablespoon of onion powder equals about a medium sized onion, which would be about a cup, chopped. So, a tablespoon.
1 to 2 tablespoons. or 3-6 teaspoons. onion dehydrates quite a bit. 2 tablespoons dehydrated onion = about 1 medium sized onion. Onion powder takes about half that space so 1 tablespoon powder = about 1 medium onion. 2 medium onions (more or less) makes 1 cup of diced onion, so 2 tablespoons of powder should equal about the same in a recipe, however the flavor of onion powder, depending on how fresh it is can be stronger than that of fresh onion in a cooked recipe, mainly because it is more evenly dispersed, so you might want to use less. **Rehydrating dehydrated minced onion will not yield the original volume of the onion but only about 1/4 of it.
