As far as I am aware, all the info in the vault just says that the test subjects were to be monitored, possibly indefinitely.
I don't think there was anything specific about the Lone Wanderer and his family that meant Vault Tec really needed them, other than the fact that they lived very close to the Vault.
Maybe having a baby/child was important, but probably only in order to test out the cryonics. There weren't any other children in the vault, so that seems possible to me.

As for rushing to get them into the Vault, I'm guessing that because Vault-Tec was connected to the military, they had early warning of the bombs, and were rushing to complete any remaining files/checks needed in order for their test subjects to get in to the vault as easily as possible.
That said, the Vault-Tec rep only wrote down your results on a piece of paper, and then seemingly carried on going to different houses.
And when the bomb falls, he's just trying to get into the vault, so he's not exactly handing anything over.
I guess it could be assumed that we definitely were on the list anyway, and he was just doing some last-minute checks, or at least informing us we had a place.

It was technically "to test the effect of continued animation on unaware subjects". Don't know how that would ever be relevant but okay.
CypherX:
Keeping pure genes alive for a time after the world has been healed, I'm guessing. The more reproduction in a vault, the higher chance of bad genetic mutation or radiation exposure. Maybe keeping people alive for travel to a new planet, who knows.
Nonnel:
They were only supposed to be under for like a hundred days but the scientists in the vault had a mutiny and tried to leave and they all killed each other
I'm guessing they wanted fertile people since long-term exposure to radiation makes you sterile

I know Vault-Tec got the early warning and that's why the rep showed up but they seemed like they REALLY wanted to get you in

If there was a reason I don't necessarily want to be told, I'd rather find it myself, but I was curious if such a thing was actually explained or not

[The only thing I can think of is something with the Institute, but I didn't think their grand scheme began until after the war]

Maybe you can ask the guy, he probably has some amount of info regarding the situation.

No, the terminals said that they were only supposed to be monitored by those in the vault for 100 days. After that the staff were to leave the vault, leaving the experiment to be monitored externally by Vault-Tec through some unexplained mechanism. I believe some other vaults were set up to be monitored externally by Vault-Tec as well but I'm not sure about that
