In this case, it sounds like a French Potato Salad, where the dressing is olive oil and vinegar, in which case the olive oil is an important flavor component.

However, you can use veggie oil (or a bottled Italian salad dressing if you have it). I would just make up for losing the olive oil flavoring by adding extra herbs and seasonings to boost the flavor.

You can…to an extent…if the recipe is using the olive oil for flavoring, then the vegetable oil will not be a good substitute, since it does not have much of that.

If the oil is being used solely as fat/oil, then yeah it should work fine.

I would definitely use less vegetable oil than what is called for in olive oil. Eye it and taste it along the way.

Sure, oil is oil. EVOO is just richer and will give more depth to whatever you make with it.

Yes, it won’t make that much of a difference. The olive oil has a bit more flavor, while the vegetable oil has practically none. No one will know the difference. Really !!

you know theres a reason apart from taste that people use extra virgin olive oil for salads. If ur not a chef u probably dont know this but u cant eat certain oils without cooking it. You cannot eat vegetable oil without cooking it.
