Lots of reasons. If he strongly disagrees with the content of the bill. If he doesn't believe that it will get the votes to pass. If the President says that he will veto it and the ML believes him. If he believes the House won't pass it and there's no chance of a compromise (like right now, where the Senate Majority Leader is a Democrat but the House is controlled by Republicans). I'm sure there's many more reasons, but that's a start.
The Senate is responsible for trying impeachment cases. The House of Representatives will bring the impeachment charge. A two-thirds majority vote is needed to impeach an official.
Congress is able to bring impeachment charges against a president. A majority vote is required in the House of Representatives. The Senate tries the President.

The House of Representatives "accuses" an official of wrongdoing by bringing articles of impeachment against him (or her). If a simple majority of the House votes for impeachment (to bring charges against), then the official would go on trial in the Senate.Article I of the Constitution gives the House of Representatives the sole power of impeachment.
No, the vice president cannot break a tie for cloture in the Senate. Cloture requires a three-fifths majority (currently 60 votes) to end a filibuster and bring a bill to a vote. The vice president's role is primarily to cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate, but cloture votes specifically require a majority of those present and voting. Thus, if the vote on cloture is tied, it fails.
The Senate.
