I imagine given the choice most people would prefer to get a tube direct

20 mins for a mainline train to go a mile to victoria then get on it?
Its a no brainer.

Where does that 20 minutes come from (and, come to think of it, where
does the train from vauxhall to victoria come from as well)?

I got off a train from clapham junction to victoria at vauxhall a few years
back. Perhaps that service doesn't exist any more.

Battersea Park has ten trains an hour to Victoria, off-peak, and
Queenstown Road has eight an hour to Waterloo off-peak. Vauxhall has
*26* trains per hour to Waterloo, off-peak.

A waterloo train stops at vauxhall almost once every 2 mins? Sorry , I find
that hard to believe. They'd be backed up all the way down the line.
