What version of vimb and webkit-gtk are you using? Both of these issues don't exist in the latest version of vimb and the latest version of webkit-gtk. If you try to open a local html file, it opens it. If you try to download a file with the same name as an existing file, it will append ~ to the existing file without overwriting it. It won't make more than one backup copy though.
