Is Capcom close enough to Sony for MH5 Vita?

Doubt it... I am pretty sure the 3ds's MH sales would want to make Capcom continue to earn that money instead of putting it on the Vita of all things. RE:R2 is multi-platform so I am guessing Sony made a deal with capcom to port it on the Vita. Not to say Sony can't do the same but with the SF:V console exclusivity and if they made MH5 exclusive as well, thats a hell of a lot of money which I highly doubt Sony wants to spend on the Vita alone

The monster hunter fanbase moved from PSP to 3DS pretty smoothly. So the only real question is whether the fanbase would be too pissed off at having to buy a Vita in order to play the next MH. If the fanbase is reasonably well disposed to following the franchise to a new platform then there's unlikely to be any sales lost by shifting. 

RE: R2 is not that huge for PSV unfortunately, it will take something big like MH to substantially change PSV fortunes. 

Well... That is a risk though that I doubt Capcom will ever take... One of the main reasons that the shift from the psp to the 3ds went to smoothly imo was cause the psp and 3ds were in different generations so its not like the 3ds was really competing against the psp since the psp's prime time was gone.  It is also a lot easier to get guaranteed sales on a platform with a large install base than a platform with a small install base and considering Capcom's greed, unless Sony is willing to guarantee payment any potencial lost sales (which they kinda did with SFV I believe), I highly doubt Capcom will bother at all and obviously Sony doesnt care enough about the Vita alone to do anything like that
