When i deepstrike a squadron of 3 vendettas i have to put them in hull contact or base contact? Also how can i carry infantry platoons on them besides embarking after deployement?

You assign squads to them as normal. They are not dedicated transports and therefore any valid squad can start the gaem in them. You can't transport a blob squad in them, due to available space, but otherwise no restrictions.

So, if i deploy the PCS and embark the Infantry squads inside the vendettas how does this count toward the reserve limits?

Also i was reading the FAQ and i just found this:
Q: What effect, if any, does the Scout special rule have on a Valkyrie or
Vendetta? Will this allow it to enter play in Turn 1 by redeploying 6"
onto the board? (p56)
A: It has no effect.

Does this mean that Vendettas can't outflank anymore?

the units that would could towards the reserve limit would be anything you put in the Vendettas that do not have the requirement of always starting in reserver, so pretty much anything in them. You can still outflank with the vendettas as the flyer rules may make one part of the scout rule useless but not the other. I commonly myself will outflank then when the hammer and anvil deployment is in effect to hit sweet sweet side armor.

So in short, anything in the Vendettas will count towards the reserve limit and the vendetta can still outflank.

I would never Deep Strike a Vendetta personally Outflanking is so much better and safer.

Not according to the Main Rules FAQ:

Q: Do units that are transported in a vehicle that MUST start in
reserve count towards the number of units that can be placed in
Reserves? For example, must I count the units in a Drop Pod or
Valkyrie towards the 50% of units I can place in Reserves? (p124)
A: No.

It was. GW changed the rules in the FAQ.

As for the deep strike question, I would say from a "fair" standpoint keep them as close as possible when they deep strike. As there is only 3 of them that leaves you with quite a few deployment options.

And the only time to deep strike them would be in a larger table game that flying just won't get you to where you need to be lol.
