Oh god, I'm so not techie enough to answer this properly, but in lieu of anyone else giving much much more learned advice, I'm going to take a stab. :)
For submission to Vividcon, you should follow the instructions on this page (http://www.vividcon.com/mpeg2.shtml), and specifically you should download the LlamaEnc program which will convert your vid to the Vividcon specs required. I'm really hoping that you're on a PC, because I have no idea what to do with a Mac. :)
After installing LlamaEnc, you should export a master file (probably an uncompressed AVI) based on your project specs, namely 23.98 FPS. Then you should load the master file into LlamaEnc, which will then automatically spit out a m2v/wav pair that fits the specs required for Vividcon. Off the top of my head it could either be 29.97FPS or 23.976FPS... either way, as long as it came out of LlamaEnc that way, it should be acceptable for Vividcon.
As for online distribution through an Xvid AVI file or other web distribution format, I don't think it matters what FPS you use, so it should be fine to distribute using your project settings of 23.98.
And does any of this affect the separate audio file I'll have exported? It shouldn't to the best of my knowledge. However to be sure I would recommend that you submit to VVC the m2v/wav pair that LlamaEnc spits out, rather than a separate audio file that you've exported directly from the program.
Hope that was helpful. And if anyone cares to chime in and point out all the places where I've gone completely wrong, please feel free. :)
