None of them is a wound in the Force (or perhaps Vitaite is like 10.00 wounds), so:
1) He will drain them before they could react, assuming that Master of the Universes Vitiate can be drained.
2) He will die, trying to drain Master of the Universes Vitiate.

I would actually like to see one so this issue of placing Nihilus can be settled. After all, some people seem to think he can actually defeat this team.
Valkorion was the sole survivor of the Nathema experiment. Moreover, no Sith was able to challenge his supremacy in the reconstituted ancient Sith Empire even though many Sith practiced and utilized Force Drain powers. I am inclined to assert that Valkorion have an answer for these type of threats.

This statement makes no sense. He was at the receiving end of the Force Drain and not target of it. That's like saying "Nihilus survived Katarr"...
None of them has compared a drain even remotely compareable to Nihilus in terms of power.
Valkorion's very nature would probably be enough to prevent being drained by Nihilus.
And of course, there is Luke, who can render himself unsenseable in the Force, which would probably also prevent an attack that targets his presence in (connection to) the Force.

Agree.
Bane was capable of resisting the effects of the thought-bomb by minimizing his presence in the Force - which causes similar effects. And it's clearly not an attack that just hits everything, given that Visas managed to survive, which leads to the suggestion that Nihilus did actively "pick" targets. That aside: Luke, when using the respective technique, just appeared "dead" or "non-existant" in the Force, and the attack just hits living things.

I'm pretty sure Nihilus directs his powers, rather than just unleashing a death field (unless he's showing no restraint at all). That's why his failed Drain was exclusive to the Exile, and that's why when he sapped Traya's powers, Sion wasn't affected.
Darth Nihilus attacked Katarr from the safety of his Starship. However, he was immune to Force Drain powers by virtue of his condition.
Vitiate was present on Medriaas during its apocalyptic event. I do not deny the possibility of him being a beneficiary of this super-ritual but:
Meetra was no expert on dark side sorcery, but it was safe to assume Vitiate not only survived the ritual, but emerged more powerful than ever. (Taken from Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan)
True, but Force Drain powers are dangerous [in general]. Even entities such as Abeloth are vulnerable to Force Drain powers.
Lord Draahg trapped Darth Vowrawn in a Deadly Field and asserted that this Force Drain technique will disintegrate his target in a span of few minutes. However, Emperor's Wrath II saved Darth Vowrawn.
Vitiate [himself] extensively utilized his Force Drain powers to satiate his hunger and ensure his power progression with passage of time. He siphoned energy of many Force-users and even Force ghosts.
I feel the same.
Darth Krayt penetrated the defenses of Luke Skywalker with a Force Drain technique. I believe that visual contact can be sufficient to attack an individual with Force Drain powers.
