I Vodafone were to send me a sim for a new contract. When would the
contract start? e.g. The day I place the order, when I first use the
sim to connect to the Vodafone network or some other date?

Yes.

In other words, any of the above. You should ask them when you place
the order.

I will ask, but will I get the right answers? I can specify a start date
so hopefully it will all work and I will get the sim in advance, but I
want to port my number from T-Mobile near the end of the 30 day window.

Are Vodafone offering in-life porting, or do you mean something else?

I want to port at the start of the contract, but AFAICT Vodafone now
allow in life porting.

It's the date the SIM is dispatched. You should get an email when this happens.
A few days later Vodafone will send you another email which has your contract start and end date as well.
