what effects does vac ban have on my account?
besides the effects on the game that i was banned from, and besides the fact that the ban is showed on my profile. does it have any other affect? can i play on vac secured servers in other games? can i trade inventory of other games?

Other games aren't affected. Mostly, that is. I've seen server admins automatically kicking people with VAC bans on their profiles, but that's pretty rare.

you just get banned by the game you got banned in...you can trade stuff at other games but not in the game that you got banned in...

If you click here you will be shown all the games your account is banned in. Some bans will ban you from multiple games, others will only ban you from just that 1 game.

The inventory for the banned game is permanently locked to your account and cannot be traded or sold. You should be fine to trade/sell for other unbanned games.

It is also a possibility that server Admins may manually ban you from their servers if they see you have a VAC ban on record. This is their choice.
You aren't VAC Banned but are Game Banned major difference but having a game ban prevents you playing that game you are banned on.
You also can't vote on Workshop items for games that are free or have become free.

Yes. You also have a Game Ban, not a VAC Ban.
But I'm sure you knew that already. :rubiwink:

Your Game ban for Rust is only for Rust.

Yes. Just 1,723 days to go!

Well, what do you mean by removed?
You will still be banned, it just won't show up on your profile.
