bibliographieshyperref
I am using an in-document bibliography i.e.
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{R:30}
...
\end{thebibliography}
For reasons unknown this results in latex placing an index of section references to each bibitem after each item, the 1,4, and A in the following example.
Tolsoty, Leo. War and Peace. New York: Ecco, 2007 1 4 A
How can I remove the section references at the end of each bibitem?
vancouver is a bibliography style with numeric citations, which means you won't be able to produce author-year citations with this style. (natbib only helps with the converse problem, where you have an author-year style and you want numeric citations.)
It appears as though you're wanting vancouver's bibliography style, but author-year citations. To do this you can follow prettygully's advice and create a custom author-year style using custombib.
Alternatively, you can take Marco's recommendation and use biblatex. The built-in author-title and author-year styles get you most of the way there. The code below does the rest. To handle the author name punctuation/delimiters, I've taken the solution from lockstep.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[bibstyle=authortitle,citestyle=authoryear,maxcitenames=2,%
firstinits=true,terseinits=true,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\DeclareNameAlias{author}{last-first}
% ----- lockstep's solution for name delimiters/punctuation
\renewbibmacro*{name:last-first}[4]{%
\ifuseprefix
{\usebibmacro{name:delim}{#3#1}%
\usebibmacro{name:hook}{#3#1}%
\ifblank{#3}{}{%
\ifcapital
{\mkbibnameprefix{\MakeCapital{#3}}\isdot}
{\mkbibnameprefix{#3}\isdot}%
\ifpunctmark{'}{}{\bibnamedelimc}}%
\mkbibnamelast{#1}\isdot

moderncv adjusts the bibliography environment to issue \subsection when multibib is loaded.
You should be able to correct this by saying
\renewcommand*{\bibliographyhead}[1]{}
after \begin{document}

You note in a comment that the
hyperrefpackage is loaded as well. Be sure to set the optionbackref=falseamong the hyperref setup options, or just omit any mention of thebackrefoption entirely. This should stop the unwanted behavior you describe.
