Even if he didn't kill him with the one shot we saw, it's entirely possible that he shot him again just before leaving and it simply wasn't shown. So yes, Jules did kill him. It's entirely possible Marsellus doesn't approve of Mia's drug use. We know Marsellus is a criminal, but he's not necessarily a drug dealer.
And even if he was, there's the old adage "don't get high on your own supply. These scenes are arranged in a pattern so that the beginnings and ends of two outer stories are sandwiched around two inner stories.
Story A2: The Diner Part 2. The MAC isn't Vincent's, it belongs to Marsellus, who is staking out Butch's apartment with Vincent, but has gone for coffee and donuts, breakfast for himself and Vincent-Marsellus wouldn't have been able to conceal the MAC on his person very easily if he'd taken it with him to get breakfast.
Butch is extremely fortunate: his timing couldn't have been better when he entered his apartment while Marsellus was gone and Vincent was in the bathroom. Vincent probably hears Butch come in, but believing it is Marsellus, is not alarmed. As Butch is driving away after having retrieved his watch and killed Vincent, he encounters Marsellus on his way back to the apartment, carrying a box of donuts and two cups of coffee.
The "trivia track" on the DVD confirms this interpretation to be correct. An added explanation that does not disagree with the above but adds a psychological dimension is that Vincent is demonstrably very careless with guns. In another scene, this carelessness costs someone else Marvin his life. Here, Vincent carelessly assumes that Butch would not be dumb enough to come back to his own apartment and, so, allows the gun to go unattended in the kitchen while he uses the facilities.
Also, Marsellus and Vincent could have been waiting for anyone to come to Butch's apartment to interrogate them as to Butch's whereabouts: Butch could have sent Fabienne to get his watch thinking Marsellus and Vincent wouldn't know who she was. Also, Vincent is seen to be using the facilities more often than any other character in the movie, at least three times, twice while reading the same book. It's also not out of the realm of possibility that Vincent didn't even know Marsellus had put the MAC on the counter.
If Vincent likes to read while using the restroom, it's entirely possible he was in there a while and may have been in there before Marsellus even left. Heroin addiction is known to cause constipation making that even more likely. The overarching theme of the movie is retaining one's honor in the face of adversity. Butch was going to skip town and go on the run from Marsellus but he realizes that leaving Marsellus to be raped or worse by Maynard and Zed was dishonorable.
When he selects a weapon claw hammer, baseball bat, chain saw they're all pretty messy things to use as weapons. The sword is associated with samurai, a position of honor in feudal Japan. Also, the sword is literally longer and more deadly than any of the other weapons he sifts through before he finds it.
It's unlikely that Butch is an experienced user of the sword but he was also counting on surprise; Butch wouldn't have to get as close to Maynard or Zed to use it and risk them being able to counterattack very easily. The hammer isn't very practical because it doesn't have much striking distance. The chain saw has a very short blade and starting it would have quickly alerted Maynard and Zed giving them plenty of reaction time.
And the bat has the length but Butch would risk a non-fatal injury that one of the guys could bounce back from. Look at the fear on Zed's face when Butch taunts him to pick up his pistol. Zed knows that Butch could easily cut his hand off in one stroke or injure him enough to land a second stroke and kill him then. It's a question of honor, which is a major theme in all of Tarantino's films: Butch puts himself in Marsellus' position and decides that he would hate to be left to such a horrid fate; he cannot just leave somebody there, no matter who it is.
Butch does the "right thing" to put it simply; he realises that Maynard and Zed cannot get away with what they are doing to anybody-who knows how many people they've raped, tortured or even killed in Maynard's basement prior to Marsellus and Butch stumbling into the shop? Butch may have also considered saving Marsellus an act of redemption. By saving his skin, he may have hoped that Marsellus would forgive him and let him go, if not, Butch may have killed Marsellus himself.
Notice how Butch still stood ready to swing with the sword when he asked, "What now? Also, if Marsellus ever escaped and learned that Butch had left him there to his fate, Marsellus would sure unleash even more retaliation against Butch than he was subject to after double-crossing him at the fight.
Consider the weapon Butch chooses: a samurai sword. The samurai are long-associated with honour towards their masters. If you want to simplify the overarching theme of the film, you could say it's about honor among thieves. There is also a clue to why Butch saves Marsellus; in the flashback scene with Christopher Walken's Captain Koons, and the young Butch. In the scene, Koons is relating his imprisonment with Butch's father, and tells Butch, "Hopefully, you'll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your dad were, for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other.
Vince was having a very bad morning! He was almost killed by a man who was shooting at him, then he accidentally shot Marvin in the face while they were driving, which made a mess of the car, himself and Jules. Jules gives Vincent a hard time over it despite it being an accident, had to "take shit" from the Wolf, Jules and Jimmy; he had to help Jules clean up all the brains, blood and skull that used to be Marvin's head and Jules forces him to take the messier part of cleaning up the car; he had to strip down naked and get hosed down with freezing cold water in order to clean the blood off himself; he had to wear dorky clothes given to him by Jimmy, and finally he was caught in the middle of a Mexican stand-off at the diner when he and Jules went to breakfast.
To top it all off, his best friend and partner Jules had just decided to quit the business they were in, right after Vincent had come back from several years living in Amsterdam -- he was probably looking forward to reconnecting with his old friend and getting back into the business and enjoying life in the USA again.
This was all in the span of about 3 or 4 hours, a LOT of bad luck in a short time. So Vince finally shows up at his destination, then gets teased by Paul the bartender about his taking Mia out to dinner, when Butch came up to the bar.
Vince probably knew or assumed why Butch was at the bar -- Marsellus was paying him to take a dive. Vincent may not respect people who are willing to betray their principles for money. So when Butch asked if he was looking at something, Vince took the opportunity to insult him. Vincent called Butch "Palooka," a reference to a cartoon character named Joe Palooka, who was portrayed in a long-running comic series as a heavyweight boxing champion.

Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. He turns back to help Marsellus, the man who just tried to kill him, but first he needs to find a weapon.
He wordlessly grabs a claw hammer, then upgrades to a baseball bat, followed by a chainsaw. Check it out here , starting around Then Butch spots the appropriate weapon of honor and vengeance: a samurai sword.
The track he actually planned to use? I thought, oh, God, this is just too funny not to use. Butch then faces down Zed who, in his security guard uniform, is the closest thing we see to law enforcement in all of Pulp Fiction , daring him to reach for his gun.
