The answer to question 1 could be:
realpatt={_Real..}
Question 2 could be done by:
vectorpatt=v:{_Symbol..}/;VectorQ[v]
There is a plethora of combinations of patterns, but in my opinion some
of the fundamental ones are included in the examples above. Mostly it's
possible to achieve the same goal in different ways.
