As far as giving away greater effects for free...only when you dont consider that the specific framework I am looking at would already have a 150-200 point buy in for the racial template to get the free greater effect in the first place. Or that even with magic as powers tie in they are by possessing Magical Power X already at a point where "an ordinary member of magical tradition x can do this".
With a bit of further consideration I would probably stand by my idea for the racial transfomation style effects, but might put the dividing line for magical tradtion powers/disciplines as being equal to half the power of your current Discipline level as the cap to give a bit more reward to the players who have spent points on the abilities.

That's a valid way of doing that, but if I were doing this. I would figure out the point cost using
Control (Magic). Let's say "Vampire Magic" is a Occasional category, so 15 points. The vampire can only affect himself, not others. So that's a +0% modifier. You'd need 6 levels to reduce the Greater Effects multiplier by a level, so 90 points Then I'd treat it as a alternate ability of the template itself. So assuming the template costs over 90 points this ability would then be worth 18 points. I'd round that up to 20 and call it a Unusual Background (Vampiric Magic). Include that on the template and you've got a real justification for being able to do crazy awesome vampiric magic stunts on the cheap.
