Homebrew will not overwrite any Apple supplied executables. It installs everything in /usr/local which is empty by default.
I think Homebrew will install vin to /usr/local/vim
However if you installed python3 from python.org then that will conflict with Homebrew python as they are both installed in /usr/local
