I felt Vinovich's storyline was cut short a little bit, or maybe there was something I missed. I mean he was clearly aware of Nix and everything going on, but at the end he just didn't partake in any action. Did I miss something?
shareYou obviously do not comprehend the definition of "plot hole".
What you're referring to is NOT a plot hole; bad writing, maybe; but NOT a plot hole.
Vinovich was aware of some of the things that happened in the past, aware enough to fear it. But he was not a part of the cult. Same with Valentine. He knows what is going on, but he was not a participant back in the day. Vinovich calls what Swann does "evil", and he is right. He fears Swann as a real magician as opposed to simply being an illusionist like himself and thus derides his success. Vinovich, being one of three key-holders to the Repository at the Magic Castle, knows of the past to an extent because it is documented there. But he was not a part of the events surrounding the Nix cult and really has no power to act in regards to what is happening. He is not a magician, but rather an illusionist. The film itself explains to you the difference.
