I want to get a time machine for my iMac, but I use windows vista extensively for gaming purposes. Will time machine back-up everything from the vista side also?
 
No.

Time Machine only works on HFS+ format disks/partitions (Vista cannot be installed on one) and only works when OSX is running. You need to use normal Windows backup stuff to backup Windows.
 
Depending on which version of Vista you're buying, (Ultimate will contain it all) there is perfectly decent backup software built in. The basic, business and home versions won't have the full imaging tools but do have file backup facilities.
