You are almost asking two different questions:
There are no issues when running a .NET 1.1 application on Vista, assuming you do not call any external libraries that are not present or significantly different on Vista - the .NET 1.1 framework is just as compatible as the 2.0 and 3.0 frameworks, and they all run side-by-side. Installing 2.0 or 3.0 does not overwrite earlier versions.
However, if you are wanting to migrate your app from 1.1 to 3.0, the best thing to do is import it into VS2005 (2.0). If it is not very complex, just try to rebuild it in 2.0 and fix the occasional deprecation warning or error. If it is significantly complex, it may require some refactoring, but nothing too difficult.
You should only migrate to 3.0 if you intent to rewrite portions of your app to take advantage of some of the new features in 3.0, like workflow management. Otherwise, simply migrate to 2.0, which is fully compatible with the 3.0 framework.
