Politico previews Clinton vs. Cuomo 2016

You forgot to mention that she's added Secretary of State to her resume.  Which is what makes the comparison to 2000 closest.  Last 3 Democratic VPs have ended up as a presidential nominee.  Hillary as the highest ranking Administration figure after Obama and Biden roughly corresponds to that.  It'd be rare for Biden as  Democratic VP to yield to a Secretary of State but the stuff you mention plus his age make it likely. 

As for who'd run against her, the past 2 Democratic running mates ran against the guy who picked them but I don't know that would lead anyone eyeing VP to run given the Clintons' rep for holding grudges.  And Clinton himself did not pick someone from his same field.  And Biden was probably just as or more likely to end up VP if he hadn't run.

I do wonder if say Jeb is the GOP nominee if Cuomo and Rubio's potential availability as VPs would lead both parties to change that same state rule.

Bizarre speculation about Bill Clinton being named Secretary of State in a future hypothetical Andrew Cuomo administration:

No chance.  But if Hillary, Biden and Gillibrand all skip a run, Clintons will probably be pretty transparent in their Cuomo favoritism.  Even without it, Bill Clinton sloppiness plus Cuomo-media love might have same effect.
