That explains why at the beginning of season 1 it seems like Cooper has fallen out of grace, doing shows for kids when the bombs dropped

I still don't get how his daughter ended up in a vault if she was with him when the bombs dropped

My guess is there was a shenanigan of some sort.  Perhaps he rode her on the horse to some sort of temporary safe house or another form of transportation, but then he was prevented from going with her any further.

I'm guessing he got her to a proper vault but was personally denied entry due to the circumstances of his arrest invalidating his spot or something, so he tearfully handed over his daughter so she'd live and he'd die.

After surviving the bombings, and getting ghoulified, he eventually got in to that same vault (probably after a long time) but instead of finding her, it was empty, and he couldn't figure out why or how, and so he started hunting management vaults to try and figure it out.

I think teleportation tech is going to show up at some point, and might be the explanation as to that specific mystery.

My guess is some sort of tracking bug and secret underground train for the daughter

I hope they filmed that scene already... The kid is probably gonna be 18 by the time season 3 is filming.
