Sorry I misunderstood you. I thought that function was already
implemented. Don't feel you have to rush to get this implemented :) I
can bear with the slow ness.
The nuts and pieces are there, but right now there is no such 
function. Here is what you can do. Write a batch script which calls 
2context (see the complete command in \runvimsyntax in t-vim). Run it 
on the file that you want. After loading t-vim, add the following line

\let\runvimsyntax\gobbleoneargument

For making the line numbers always appear on the left, add this code
after loading t-vim.

\def\showvimlinenumber

       {\dostartattributes\??vs\c!numberstyle\c!numbercolor\empty
        \countervalue{vimlinenumber}
        \dostopattributes}}

Right now, this is not possible. Let me see if I can add this feature.
That would be very useful. Thank you.

A fixed width font is also called a teletype font. By default, the
code listing should be in a fixed width font, so I thought that you
were talking about how to use a different fixed width font.
Ah I set up my body font like so:
\definetypeface [palatino] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=ec]
\switchtotypeface [palatino] [12pt,rm]
Though when it comes to listing code it doesn't automatically switch
to a teletype font and it sticks with the body font, however, when I
comment out of those two lines it does use a fixed width font. I'm
guessing here but does that mean there is no teletype font in
Palatino?
Strange, I thought that with your font setup ConTeXt should fall back 
to latin modern mono. Anyway, Wolfgang's suggestion should work and 
will give you latin modern mono scaled properly to match Palatino's 
height.

I not trying to put on demands on you here but the changes you say
will only be useful to me if I get them before tonight. I need to hand
in the project tomorrow. So I don't want you to spend time on
implementing features that won't be appreciated by me (but I'm sure
others will find it useful! I will as well in the future too).
Basically, all I'm saying here is that you don't have to rush these
features on my behalf.
I hope that didn't come off as being rude because it certainly wasn't
meant to be.
Don't worry. I made this module to just have the features that I 
needed. As a result, there are lot of things that are missing from the 
module. Your effort to make the module work has been a good feedback 
to me.
