Your shielding works because you can see someone aiming a prepare to block a bit prematurely. If someone shoots you and you're not prepared at all, you can't suddenly lift your arm in time to block it.
The problem with throwing a rock in comparison to this is that it can't be prepared because rocks fall and move about. It needs to be in the right place a the right time, and - without Vash saying he's able to throw it super fast - it would be too slow.
No. Enhanced senses let's him see everything. If he's not focusing on someone like a cowboy standoff, he's not going to be able to react the moment they shoot. Enhanced senses would just let him react to invisible people (if they don't have suppression), or people behind him. But he'd still need to be roughly focusing on them. That's from both a practical and a balance perspective.
And, while he could know where a bullet was mid-fight with that power (and could probably do it without if he was looking), that would not allow enough time to throw a rock to block it unless the shot is slow or was fired from far away.
