I currently have 4GB RAM of memory in my early 2011 MBP 13inch model and I want to upgrade this to a 8GB or 16GB 1866MHz
Problem is I'm not sure what the differences between the two will be, graphics performance wise.
I know that upgrading to 8GB increases VRAM to 512MB. What would happen when you upgrade to 16GB?
Also is upgrading to 1866MHz a good idea?

I always forget that some people do gaming on a HD 3000.
Yes it does add bandwidth that a CPU will happily take. Very much depends on the game but some high streaming games like CoD should benefit a lot, high shader games like Crysis probably much less.
There is a lot of Apples to Oranges comparisons but you still can expect some 10%+ increase in fps with 1866 over 1333. Synthetic benchmarks are the only show some 6% increase, but games like bandwidth usually more than syn. benches. If that is worth the money opposed to the price of 1600 is your decision. In a 15"/17" I think 1866 is a poor idea in a 13" there is some point to it.
