But when I reference an existing vb file in a location outside the project, VS makes a copy of the original and passes it in the current project folder. Hence, I now of two copies of the file.

Sure :)
Create Solution
Add Project1 where your "Shared" files located
Add or Create Project2
Add Project1 reference to Project2

Now you will have solution with both projects :) (nealy the same what you want to modify just one instance)
and reference to the file in second project
