Is "proceed on course, contact departure" a vector?


No. That's a VFR tower instruction. A vector is an actual heading to

Huh!!! And all this time I thought a heading was a "heading", and a heading
and altitude instruction was a "vector".


Altitude has nothing to do with it. A haeding is a vector and vice versa.
