The main reason for the dead hooker scene was visual impact, and yes, to reinforce ruthlessness. But, as dt said, they needed to compromise Geary right there and then. Having him wake up next to a brutally murdered woman, groggy, unable to remember what happened, would give him no time to think--just go along. Blackmailing him with photos wouldn't have had nearly the same impact.
As for Vito: The man who killed Fanucci for trying to extort a couple hundred dollars from him wouldn't be likely to sit still for that "oily hair/silk suit" insult--and an attempt to extort $250k and 5% of the gross of "all four hotels--Mister Cor-lee-own-eee."
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

A couple hundred dollars when Vito was a young man was a lot of money. But I agree, he would use the same type of violence...as he did with Woltz.
 Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

But that was alot of money to Vito at that time. Also, Fanucci got Vito fired from his job, throwing the family in to poverty and near starvation. This lead Vito to his life of crime. Not to justify murder, but Fanucci brought very real and serious harm to Vito and his family.
