Next time you boot into Vista look in the tool tray and open up Boot Camp options. There's a box where you select the default OS.

You can also do this from the Mac side, again under Boot Camp.

On the mac side it's not under bootcamp. It's under the preference "Start up disk" If I can remember right.

If you only want to sync your other iPod, you could create two libraries. Hold shift on start of iTunes to create a new one.
 
You can also sync two iPods to the same iTunes library. If you want different songs/playlists on the two, you would have to check and uncheck those before you sync.
