Mafia II and Vito's story is not about going up the Mafia organization like in the first game. In Mafia 1, Tommy was a honest guy involved in the mob because he had no choice, Vito's story is not about the high ranking structure of the mob, is about the "soldiers" in the organization, the guys that are destined to be an instrument. Vito choose to be involved, he is not an honorable man like Tommy, he's scum and has no life goals besides money and lifestile. Vito will always be a pawn because... thats what he is... he would never had the guts and honesty to do what Tommy did.

I think the mission where both games connect is very clear about that, the player, playing as Vito has to kill the only emotional atachment we have in that world, because like Vito we are simply a pawn. I think it was a clever meta-reference by the developers.
