He's not just an antihero, I think he's also an antivillain (e.g. the evil dictator) and, well, it's complicated. I don't think anybody on the Disc is really sure who's side he's on.
Actually, he's on Ankh-Morpork's side. He does stuff, no matter how much it is considered wrong by others, for the city. And he runs the city very well, and has no adjective behind his name. However, this does not say much else about who's side he's on.
Also, Vetinari is Vimes's age, that is to say late forties to early fifties. I deducted this from Night watch, where it states that Sam is 16 while Vetinari is a teenager. But Vetinari's age is besides the point.
