Are you directing this at high schoolers who get help from college coaches?

I don't know too many college coaches who have time to waste coaching high schoolers who do not want their help... usually if a college or club coach is helping them it is because they want them there.

Yes. I'm directing this question to high school vaulters. Does it help that much to get help from a college coach at meets? Which college or club coaches help the best at meets? What are some of the good coaching tips?

it depends on the coach, if they are a really good high school coach, that could be coaching college but chooses not to, then there really is no difference. My coach coaches both, hes a coach at a high school and at the college where i am at.

it just depends on the coach, but i would like to think that the College coach is going to be better, ya?

of course a college coach will be able to help a high school vaulter. weather or not its legal is another question. if they do it under the cover of a club, then cool. but at the high school level, in 99% of the cases, any coach is better than no coach at all. and if its a college coach who knows what he's doing (especially the one you're referring to) then they will be very helpful toward the high schoolers they coach.
