Assignable FX

I have added Pitch Shift to an audio track and inserted an envelope to
control it throughout the track. Problem is it mixes the pitch-shifted
audio with the original. If I attempt to lower the volume of the original,
either with the Volume slider or the volume envelope, it all goes mute
because apparently this cuts the input to the FX??? How can I get
pitch-shift to output by itself without mixing with the original?

right click on the event and adjust pitch from the controls found there-

Click on the button right next to the Pan slider of the track to change the slider into FX Send slider. Then right-click on the slider itself, and change the mode from Post-Volume to Pre-Volume. This way, the volume slider doesn't affect the FX send value - unless you slide the volume to zero.

To get only the wet signal from the pitch shifter, you need to add it to the FX chain in the track itself, not as an assignable FX, because all assignable FXs mix their output back to the main bus. The FX Send envelope you created does not bend the pitch, it only affects the volume of the track going into the pitch shift FX.

If you want to BEND the pitch and you only have Vegas Audio, well sorry, no can do. For some reason, Sonic Foundry only put the feature in Vegas Video as "velocity envelope". If you have a short project, you can try to substitute the lack of pitch bend with a Vibrato plugin (the one where you can draw the envelope). This involves some trickery however.
