I need to know what the checkOutType values are.

I'm working on an app using the Vault API, and I need to check out a file. The function asks for a byte value for checkOutType:

public VaultResponseItem[] CheckOut(
VaultClientFile file,
byte checkOutType,
string comment
);

I have no idea what value I need to pass in here, since they appear to not be listed anywhere in the documentation.

Thanks!

Try

VaultLib.VaultCheckOutType.CheckOut and VaultLib.VaultCheckOutType.Exclusive

Now my next question is...how do I check a file back in? I see checkout, I see undocheckout, but I see nothing to check in.

You need to create a change set and pass it to the BeginTx(). If that succeeds, send the Commit request to EndTx().

If you're just getting started in Vault client API, you might find some good examples of how things work in the source code of the Command Line Client. I believe this can be found in the Vault Client API download.
