Running VIM inside Sage Shell
Is this possible? I want to work in Sage shell but I want to use VIM while typing up stuff in sage shell.

You can use any bash command by starting with !, in you case:
sage: !vim my_file.txt
You can also run
sage: %edit
which will open whatever you have $EDITOR set to first, and then fall back on vi otherwise.
The file is then saved to a temporary file and run when you exit, unless you do %edit -x (then it doesn't execute). While you're in your editor you can also write out to another file if you prefer.

Do you mean in the Sage shell, started by running
sage -shin the terminal, or in the Sage REPL (read-eval-print loop), started by runningsagein the terminal?
