According to the Vex property for the Shortsword, if you hit with an Attack, your next Attack is at Advantage. Note that because I MC'd into Fighter, I have 2 Attacks base.
My Rogue has a magic Dagger in his off-hand with the Nick property. He has both the Vex and Nick Weapon Masteries.
Can I strike with my Shortsword, gain Advantage from the Vex property, and then use the Advantage for the Dagger Attack and gain Sneak Attack? If I do, does this count as his second Attack?
Yes you can do this. It shouldn't count as the Extra Attack if it's your question, but it do count as the extra attack of the Light property. It should go like this:
That's legit. Vex is a nice Weapon Mastery for Rogues.
Take into account the benefit from Vex lasts until the end of your next turn.
Vex. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.
And you could do this if you have Extra Attack and using two Light weapons:
Note that the Advantage is only on your next attack roll against the creature you did hit with the Vex weapon, so you could use the Extra Attack against another creature normally and then attack the one you first Vex with Advantage.
Or you could attack it three times, and have Advantage on the last two attacks (Shortsword/Shortsword/Dagger)
Note that the Advantage is only on your next attack roll against the creature you did hit with the Vex weapon, so you could use the Extra Attack against another creature normally and then attack the one you first Vex with Advantage.
Or you could attack it three times, and have Advantage on the last two attacks (Shortsword/Shortsword/Dagger)
I proposed that (S/S/D) for the same reason, but I guess the combination depends on the specific scenario, the number of enemies, etc.

To explain a little more directly where the four attacks come from: you get two attacks with the Attack thanks to Extra Attack from Fighter 5, a third attack from the Nick mastery on the Dagger which moves the extra bonus action attack from the Light property to be part of the Attack action, then another attack with your bonus action from the Dual Wielder feat's Enhanced Dual Wielding feature.

This is 100% right, but just to note, Darkaiser didn't mention Dual Wielder.

Thanks in advance.

Shortsword (Attack Action)
Dagger (NickMastery)
Shortsword (Extra Attack)

Thanks, both of you. I just hit Fighter 5 and we haven't had a play session yet so I wanted to make sure that I had it right before playing it.
I don't quite understand why you get an extra attack with the shortsword.
It's from the Level 5: Extra Attack feature (emphasis added by me):
