All I can say is that I run Vista Business, Office 2k7, and SBS 2003 as
well, and do not observer *either* of the problems you've reported. And I
believe they are related. Specifically, if Vista is reporting network
connection issues, but then connecting, that would imply (to me) a network
latency issue. And network latency would explain the slow response to
releasing file locks.
Two suggestions:
1) Install the latest server 2003 updates, specifically I have this one in
mind:

2) Make sure that opportunistic locking is set up properly.
