Good question, while they may be synonyms, they can differ in meaning depending on the context of the phrase in which they are employed.
"this is an important person" could mean that the person in question is of high status.
"this is a vital person"
means that he is needed, that his presence is "important"

>> Can I replace "Important" with "Vital" in all cases?
No.
Important means it needs attention.
Vital means it is critical. For example, your arm is important, because the lack of an arm is a large problem. But you could live. Your hard is vital. Without it you die.

@Kiet_ both words mean the same. However they differ in the intensity.
When something is important it can sometimes be ignored, it is only recommended not to. However if something is vital it means you cannot just ignore the fact.
Two examples: it is important to wear a helmet while riding a bike, but it is vital to wear your pressurized helmet when walking on the moon, or else, you die.
That is, if you do not do something important, it might be okay, maybe it can annoy someone, but if you don't do something that's vital, it could cost your life or other people's lives.
Second example:
It's important study to be able to get a good job, but it's vital to work when you cannot study anymore or else you can't get food to eat.
Hope this helped you with your question.
