Basically I want to import a adress which I generated with a vanityadressgenerator into a electrum wallet which has a seed.

I know the background how a seed functions and I can´t imagine that it is possible, but I thought I give it a shot.

If the answer is no, is it possible to generate a vanity adress within the wallet (based on the seed)

I don't think that's possible.

You would need to manually import your vanity address and use your address separated from your HD wallet.

If the answer is no, is it possible to generate a vanity adress within the wallet (based on the seed)

Your seed is used to deterministically produce private keys. You cannot import a private key into a seeded wallet in electrum. You can use a seedless electrum wallet and import the private key that way.

For the second point. It is indeed possible to make a vanity address with your seed. However, this might take a while.

You can sweep it if you like:

To import it you need to create a new wallet for it:
