Default Re: The adjective to modify "vocabulary"

Interesting research!

No - you can't say I have three vocabularies. Remeber what I said - the plural is only used as (and rarely) a synonym for dictionaries or in technical terminology like computer programming. (Meaning 3 above). You'd have to say : I have three languages.

However your use of vocabulary in the other sentences is fine.
