No, it is not recommended to put Vicks Vapor Rub on hummingbird feeders. The scent can deter hummingbirds from feeding, and it may also be harmful to them if they come into contact with it. It's best to stick to using plain water and sugar in hummingbird feeders.
Hummingbird feeders are red because many hummingbird-pollinated flowers are red. Hummingbirds see red very well but most insects do not, so red flower color is an adaptation to attract hummingbirds as pollinators and reduce competition with insects.
It is important to keep hummingbird feeders up until at least two weeks after you have seen the last hummingbird in your area. Some hummingbirds may stay later than others, and having a food source available can help them during their migration. If the weather becomes consistently below freezing, you can bring the feeders in overnight to prevent the nectar from freezing.
No, you should not dye your hummingbird food. This dye can harm the birds. It is true that hummingbirds are attracted to red. You can hang red ribbons on your feeders to initially attract them instead.

Bears are attracted to areas with easily accessible food sources like garbage, pet food, and bird feeders. To prevent encounters with bears, secure trash in bear-proof containers, bring in pet food and bird feeders at night, and avoid leaving food out when camping or hiking in bear country.
Only if they are very thirsty. Hummingbirds get most of the water they need from drinking flower nectar or sugar water, but if conditions are very hot and dry they will drink plain water.
That is normal behavior for a hummingbird. You can try making several different hummingbird feeders available so they don't have to share the same one.
yes they do because they always look or follow red
