Most vendors and customers would be based in the US.

I have a few questions im unsure about when it comes to VAT....

If most of your customers are in the USA setup your company in the USA and avoid VAT all together! Incorporate here, host here, setup your bank account here and your company is all set. Use the company account to pay your vendors and publishers.

At the end of each month, the money left over is yours. Your USA company will simply pay you a disbursement of what it has earned. If you setup properly you have ZERO USA tax liability! that income passes to you as a UK resident as investment income. You dont have to charge vat on your sales.
