no.
[noise~] produces an audio-signal (a bunch of numbers representing audio
samples), wheras [notein] produces a message (a high-level structured
event representing arbitrary data).

not all vst-plugins take midi-notes, but [vst~] might have a way to get
the available messages you can send to a given plugin (but i don't know
as i never use it).

no, actually it documents how to send midi events (e.g. notes) to a plugin.
the [s $0-vst] forwards all messages it receives to [r $0-vst], which
sends them to the [vst~] object.

so to answer your question, use something like

[notein 1]
|        |
[pack 0 0]
|
[note $1 $2(
|
[vst~]

this will take the note-in data (key and velocity) and create a new
message with selector "note" and the data and send that to [vst~].
