Where does the VLC for Android store bookmarks I create for videos?

It's neither in the video's directory nor in org.videolan.vlc as it seams.

They are stored in VLC's MediaLibrary, which uses sqlite3, a light databased often used on Android. It is unfortunately not meant to be accessible to users.

Agreed that the database should be user-accessible. One could use SQLITE on the phone to perform more complex searches than one can with the VLC user interface.

No

You can always dump it in the advanced settings. But it's not possible to edit it (and we won't allow that as it would cause a lot of issues).

Agree that re-importing an edited music database could cause many headaches and needless debugging time.
