Yes you can.
You need to install it without entering the License Key. Also do not activate it.
Once done, install it again and this time enter the License Key and activate it.
For whatever reason, Microsoft allows a clean installation of Vista upgrade to be considered a pre-existing version of Windows and therefore an eligible product to be upgraded - effectively, it upgrades itself.

Just install it without putting in the License Key nor activating it. When you have finished installing it, install it again over the installation you just did, this time putting in the License Key and activating it.
Only Mac Pros and MacBook Pros manufactured in 2008 include Boot Camp drivers 64-bit Windows. All other Macs include Boot Camp drivers only for 32-bit Vista. You can download the 64-bit Vista Boot Camp drivers that will work with other Macs from the web, but you need to search for them.
Unless you have 4GB of RAM, you won't really notice any difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Vista (and even then...).

You put in the leopard install CD and installed the boot camp drivers, right?
In case you haven't installed Vista yet, I suggest that you read this article as it's very clear as to what you need to do:
