I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that impeachment is the accusation and preparation of articles of impeachment. The vote is the conviction. An impeachment is sort of like an indictment.

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that articles of impeachment were being prepared (or had been prepared) but the House had not yet voted on the articles. The House probably WOULD have voted up the articles, so Nixon resigned before the vote.
