HarleyD - Well there are a couple of ways you could go about deleting the duplicate templates. If you haven't edited any of the index templates, you could simply delete them all by running this query in phpMyAdmin:
DELETE FROM template WHERE title LIKE 'index%';
Then you could use the install script and select the option to Only Install the Templates, and that will reinstall all the original ones again.
That would be the quickest and easiest way to remove them. If you have made some modifications to them that you don't want to lose, then you could log in through phpMyAdmin, browse your template table, and then change the order they are sorted in by clicking the "templateid" link twice. This should show you all your templates, orderded by the time they were created (newest first). You could delete each duplicate template one at a time there, or if you look to find where the first duplicate template is, you could check the templateid of that one and run a query like this:
DELETE FROM template WHERE templateid>='XXXX' AND title LIKE 'index%';
(Replace XXXX there with the templateid of the first duplicate).
And lastly, you could put your board in debug mode by adding $debug='1'; at the bottom of your admin/config.php file. After you do that, when you go to edit your templates you will see a new "global" template set. The global set is all of your default templates, and there will be an option next to each to remove it.
Oh, and the queries you're showing shouldn't be from the myvbindex file... Even with all the options turned on, it only performes 29 queries at max.

Huron - It should already direct them to the location of your member.php file... The best thing I can suggest would be to edit your "index_logincode" template and look for this code:
<form action="$bburl/member.php" method="post">
Change $bburl there to /forum (assuming your forum's directory is called forum). It should work just fine with $bburl there instead since that's a global variable, but I do seem to remember one other person having a problem with the $bburl variable working for them. If for some reason that doesn't work though let me know.
