You keep assuming Vermouth would easily and readily blurt out all the information she knows about what's going on to anyone who asks. Hell, if Bourbon ever got to suspect Sherry was someone in disguise, and asked Vermouth "who could have disguised as her?", Vermouth would only answer "Only me. And, well, I didn't get blown up in the cargo hold, right?".
Why would she answer that? Because any other answer would compromise her plans and her cover. Mentioning Yukiko involves Shinichi, and Vermouth is protecting Shinichi. Mentioning Kid implies Haibara is alive, and that puts Conan and the Mouris in danger, and Vermouth is protecting them.
And you keep assuming Bourbon will find the Sherry masks. It's already unlikely that he'll even find one of them. I mean, where the hell did Kid's one land? And what did Vermouth do with Yukiko's? Who the hell knows. And clearly not Bourbon.
First That Information is freeable availible. If Vermouth says something like " I sorry I promised a friend I would not tell where I learned to do this. Then he might go and capture Heiji and ask about who did his double disguise. He might ask Hollywood who taught the movie greats how to disguise. He might even ask Yukiko herself where she learned the trick.
You made a statement that is simply not true. He might hear how KID appeared as someone else. Vermouth might say that "Only me." But it would be clear she is lying under further investigation. All it would take is hearing or reading about how great Yukiko Movie disquises were. Or someone asking Who will KID appear as next. (Think about this. The Head Inspector goes around pinching cheeks to see it they're real. That will get out) And then If Vermouth did lie, and Bourbon found out about it, what then?
Your statement about "Why would she answer that? Because any other answer would compromise her plans and her cover. Mentioning Yukiko involves Shinichi, and Vermouth is protecting Shinichi. Mentioning Kid implies Haibara is alive, and that puts Conan and the Mouris in danger, and Vermouth is protecting them." Might be true, but as I just showed he could easily learn the truth.
And as for this part "And you keep assuming Bourbon will find the Sherry masks. It's already unlikely that he'll even find one of them. I mean, where the hell did Kid's one land? And what did Vermouth do with Yukiko's? Who the hell knows. And clearly not Bourbon"
Well one thing you should know if you read a lot of mysteries, is that clues that the bad guys was forced to leave and then hide have a very bad case of showing up. It is almost a certainly that mask will show up. The only way it would not is for Conan, his mother, or other types to find that mask and they make it disappear. Currently the story is not suggesting that. Which means a very important piece of evidence for the BO is just sitting out somewhere waiting to be found, and like I said earlier these kind of things have a very bad habit of showing up at the worst possible time. It will happen. Wait and see.
As for question #2, I doubt vermouth tossed that mask off the train, and that means she more likely has it with her. Again I agree with you on her trying to protect, and for that reason I do believe she would not just create another needle to show up. If she has not done already and if she can, then by now that mask no longer exist. That is of course if she can indeed safety destroy the mask. A nice possible plot trick might make that impossible and thus she playing a game of trying to keep that mask hidden, and it becomes more fun as now there are two mask wait to be found by the wrong people.
If you do not mind TvTropes, they kinda have what I am suggesting under "Did not see that coming" in Category #4 Unknown Knowns: It happens. Sometimes the plotter knows a given person, event, or variable is present... but doesn't see how it could possibly impact their foolproof plans and proceeds to dismiss it or mistreat those "irrelevant" to his plot, and otherwise ignore the sword overhead while whittling at the rope holding it there
Poor Nakamori Keibu. Also, he and Kogoro-occhan standing next to each other makes a hilarious look 
Like twin boys or something
