Almost every example of MVVM I found is coded in C#, are there any examples/tutorials coded in VB.Net? I'm having a hard time translating C# to VB.Net since I haven't really used C# in any meaningful way...
Also, does a MVVM Template/Toolkit for VB.Net exist yet?

You might want to look at the work of Karl Shifflett (program manager on the Cider team at Microsoft). He's one of the main forces in MVVM, and he deals pretty much exclusively in VB.NET, so you'll have plenty of samples to learn from. As an added bonus, he's written a framework called Ocean that should help you get started.
You can find more details on his blog here.
You can download the sample app made by Josh Smith in the MSDN article "WPF Apps With The Model-View-ViewModel Design Pattern" in VB.net form
In general, all code in MSDN mag gets translated to VB.net.
