Every time I enter the Insert mode in vim using A and press Enter to go to the next line, vim automatically removes all indentation from the current line. For instance, ideally, it should be like this -
14 echo $sample;
15 $ai = system("python ai.py " + $sample, $retVal);
If I press A on line 15 and then <CR>, this is what my vim looks like -
14 echo $sample;
15 $ai = system("python ai.py " + $sample, $retVal);
16

Any idea what's going on?
You probably want to set autoindent in your vimrc file:
:set ai
You can also verify if autoindent was previously set (for example through the filetype plugins) by checking its value with
:set ai?

Having copied normaly indented text from Vim into the system clipboard using "+y, I paste it VSCode. Each line that is tab-indented will be indented two-tab width as the picture shows.
Code in Vim:

shiftwidth is set to 4 in my .vimrc and tab size is set to 4 in VSCode.

edit: this is screenshot of what happen with my vim.
before i press a key
Removing lazyredraw from my vimrc fixed this for me as well.
This was with Vim 7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.
I do use vim with Tagbars and The-NERD-tree plugin. I also like to have autochdir enabled. But sometimes, when I switch between files with NERD-tree plugin - Tagbar does not refresh its content and I stick with tags from previous file. If I do "TagbarToggle" again - second Tagbar window appears with current file tags. If I disable autochdir - it seems to work ok. How can I fix this problem? Current .vimrc is attached. Thanks.

Try updating to Vim 7.4. I had the same problem, as described on this tagbar issue.
This is a really strange issue and it's been driving me insane. At one point, in my .vimrc file, I had a line that looked like the following:
nnoremap <tab> gg=G''
which I used to re-indent my whole file. Time goes on and I decide that I want to use tab like %, to move between open/close tags/parens/etc. So I remove the line above, and remap the command to control-i (like Eclipse) and replace it with
nnoremap <tab> %
vnoremap <tab> %
I save the file, source it, close vim, restart my computer, do whatever, but regardless of what I do, pressing tab still indents the entire file. When I check the mapping with
:verbose map <tab>
The output I get is:
v <Tab> * %
Last set from ~/.vimrc
n <Tab> * gg=G''
Last set from ~/.vimrc
Similarly, if I try
:verbose nnoremap <tab>
I get:
n <Tab> * gg=G''
Last set from ~/.vimrc
I'm really not sure what's going on here, that mapping most certainly does not exist any more. Here is my .vimrc:

Use a different mapping than <c-i>. I suggest you use leader, e.g. nnoremap <leader>i gg=G''
