Sounds like the VSS or another transmission sensor went out or hiccuped.

could prolonging the replacement of the vss damage the transmission in some way, seeing as how the vss give the transmission its shift timing.

If you leave it like that for an extended period of time-Yes. But as long as you fix it within a month you should be good.

i got my VSS from this guy and it worked great

if your CEL turns on only while your rolling pretty fast without your foot on the gas im pretty sure its the vss... i think the car thinks its idling at a too high rpm... well thats my theory at why it always turned on only while i was going down a steep hill.
