I'm not quite sure how the senate works and how a vote that is tied gets broken with no VP presiding over the senate.

That might be a very quick period. The 25th amendments put in place after LBG couldn't appoint a VP states:
Quote:

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

However, if there is a delay to the nomination after the VP is president we then have no VP. This link states
a tie without a VP means the motion fails, as a majority is needed to pass
