With 155 posts on here surely you know enough about VirtueMart by now to be answering the issues that other users have instead of asking what are really basic questions for yet more free support?

Helpfully all VM table are of the structure ###_virtuemart_whatever so if you just want products & categories the "whatever" will have category, categories, products or product in the table name. And if you need ratings & orders then they are obvious, too.

As for directories, they will usually just be the relevant image directories.

Akeeba can be the right solution, you can select the tables to import in the settings.
So select all #__virtuemart_XXX tables to import. The tables are named by convention, so you can find what to import.
eg all table begining with XXX_virtuemart_product, XXX_virtuemart_category, XXX_virtuemart_custom, XXX_virtuemart_manufacturer,XXX_virtuemart_media
If you forgot something, then add it after.
