I wasn't aware that vim handled code indent, it never worked for me in
C. However, it does support syntax coloring. You must enable this (I
think it is by default) and set the TERM environment variable to
xterm-color (or cons25, or some other color-capable terminal). Check to
see if it works in a standard terminal first; if it doesn't, then you
have a configuration problem with vim.
