It is best to avoid alcohol when taking vilazodone as apart from causing drowsiness, it must be noted that alcohol is a depressant by nature. This means alcohol negates the effects of the SSRI and would not help the process of treatment. For this reason doctors advise not to consume alcohol when taking SSRI.
Think about why you would want to take alcohol occasionally. Is it for social reasons or because of habitual reasons, etc.

Yes its a good dose and recovery time is not dose dependent. Antidepressants take 2 weeks to start acting. Increasing the dose might not necessarily fasten the recovery.

Ssri and tca have reaction potentiaying each other, although opipramol is said to have less potent. And you can land inserotonin syndrome if potency of ssri is increased by tca.
Please stop one of them so that you benefit from one of them.
Don't add another antidepressant if you are on opipramol.

Yes you can take etilaam pro, however if you start feeling improvement in anxiety symptoms you should slowly tapper down the dose of etilaam pro tablet and try to stop it once you are comfortable rather than taking it for long time and stay on vilazodone alone for few months.
