My wife and I are thinking about moving to Vietnam. She is Vietnamese but got US citizenship. Can we get visa for more than 3 months? Also can I get social security and Federal pension living there?

If your wife is Vietnamese extraction she can reclaim her Vietnamese citizenship, because Vietnam now recognises dual citizenship. Then she can get a Vietnamese passport and will not need a visa. She will be able to sponsor your for a visa exemption. She should enquire at the Vietnamese embassy or nearest consulate.
