While there are various methods of speeding up the casting of a spell, Vampiric Touch gives you an extra use for your action. As such, only abilities that let you make multiple actions, not multiple attacks, can help you use it more than once. The fact that it involves a melee spell attack is unimportant.
Can vampiric touch be used with a weapon?
Vampiric Touch is a melee spell attack that has nothing to do with weapon combat (it does not even require you to have an empty hand to cast it repeatedly), so it does not qualify either as a wielded light weapon or melee weapon attack.
How much damage does a vampiric touch spell do?

How can I use vampiric touch more often in combat?
Casting the spell takes an action (leaving the caster a bonus action, a reaction and a move left to do in no particular order) For the duration of said minute (10 rounds) one has a chance to apply 3d6 necrotic damage and heal 1/2 of that, up to ten times via “melee spell attack”. How could I acquire more “melee spell attacks” per round?
What does it mean when you cast vampiric touch?
You cast Vampiric Touch, bonus action attack. Next turn, you maintain concentration to do the melee spell attack, but does this constitute as a “casting a spell” in regards to the Improved War Magic Class Feature allowing you to use you bonus action to attack?

As part of the casting of Vampiric Touch, you make a melee spell attack. If you hit, you deal 3d6 necrotic damage.
