To start at the last part, what VLC sends us in the notifications isn't something we can control. In Growl 2.1 will have a rules system which you can actually modify the text of a note with.
As for the second point, we have a request to make the item stay around longer: http://code.google.com/p/growl/issues/detail?id=347, however, it will likely wouldn't be able to extend out to a whole song duration for instance. The "stay on screen: always" setting would work if VLC was sending us a coalescing code with each track played notification that would allow it to replace the current. At this time, the coalescing code isn't an item you can change in a notification with the coming rules system. Growl 2.1 is a bit too far along to consider adding it now, but we might consider it for a future version, as the identifier is just a string and should be safe to modify (there are a few fields of data we don't allow modification of as they could cause problems for apps or Growl). Growl 2.1 is in beta testing, and I believe localization will be starting soon, although there isn't much new to localize, there is always a few strings. The rules system is applescript and not UI based, and we will be posting a bunch of documentation and examples in the future.
