I mean, the Federation may take notice and all..perhaps :P 

Despite the rather sore history between the States of Aurolia and the Quxikotl, I'd imagine the Aurolians both, extending a helping hand to Quxikotl that truly want it, even have done the same for the Tak'a'dis(unfortunately though, the Quxikotl wouldn't exactly feel welcomed by a segment of the civilian population) and keeping a close watch over Covenant activities on their former homeworld, nothing too overt of course.

Ah, these damnable benevolent federations, always meddling in others' questionable practices... I suppose relations with the Federation would be somewhat tense, since the Covenant is not especially keen on the entire democracy and lifeform rights matter. While them and the 
Iurrketh may have a common foe in the Concordat, the Covenant proper is actually rather interested in remaining on amicable terms with the latter. Once again, a possible improvement on their attitude towards the Federation would depend on who manages to sway the Swarms to their side.

Would any nations be interested in having trading and an uneasy friendship with Vesia?

It depends on what the Vesians have to offer in terms of exports and produce. While an actual friendship, uneasy or not, would probably be seen as of little consequence, the Covenant is open to trading with whomever will have them (and not ask too many questions). Rare marine creatures, for instance, might be an article they would be willing to pay a reasonable price for.
