In the past, I have not used proxychains or an anonymous browser. Is this something that you should be worried about if you are considering becoming a vendor on silkroad?
Potentially harmful are things I have favorited in the past on youtube, some purchases via credit card on amazon and other sites, Google search results, and some torrents files I downloaded off PirateBay. I have heard that in the case of a murder investigation, they can subpoena your Google Search History. Does this make becoming a vendor more risky going forward? In what ways? Should I not consider being a vendor as if this is sort of a pre-qualifiying credit-rating for a business person? If not, what can be done at this point in time?

I think that you should be fine unless you did explicitly illegal things in the past. Ideally your vendor account on SR will have no link to anything you did online in the past, and the only way past online behavior will compromise you is if it in itself is enough to get you put under investigation. For every SR vendor who googled for drugs or downloaded drug related .pdf files from torrent sites, there are thousands of small time drug users and even non-users just curious about drugs who did the same thing.
