Happened a couple of times in the last million years and always brought life on this planet to the verge of extinction.

Why is the Yellowstone volcano and Vesuvius being so closely monitored?

Both are active and both volcanoes haven't erupted in quite sometime; therefore scientists believe that both volcanoes (although they do not correlate) are due to erupt at any moment. So to help the public, scientists keep a close watch on these things to help ensure your safety.

Is Mt Vesuvius the most dangerous volcano in the world?

No. compared to many other volcanoes, the eruption from Vesuvius was small. There are things called "supercvolcanoes". The most famous one i can think of being Yellowstone. Nearly the entire Yellowstone National Park is settled inside the caldera of the volcano. The magma chamber from Yellowstone is big enough to hold New York City. There are other supervolcanoes in the world, and not all are extinct(such as Yellowstone. Which is overdue for an eruption by a couple thousand years). They are the ones that are real dangers.
