The mummy book to which you are referring was called simply that -- The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned.
No vampires in this one, in fact, these immortals were pretty much the opposite of the vampires. Ramses required no food or water but ate and drank anyway -- and required sunlight to keep from going into a sort of torpor (to borrow the ever popular term from the V:tM lexicon ;) )
It's been a long time since I've read any of Rice's work as well. The whole born-again thing...oi. I don't want to touch that, or the Lestat musical with a ten foot pole. XD
I've read the same Vampire Chronicles you have, though I also started and never finished the next one, which was either Marius' or Armand's autobiography. My memory's at least as poor as yours but there are a coupla things I can backstop you. The interviewer in Interview was embraced in the movie (by Lestat) but not the novel. I remember that he appeared in novel!Queen, but I still don't remember that he had been embraced. In the novels David was embraced in Body Thief. It happens at the very end, just after a short chapter which Lestat spends telling the reader, "If you like happy endings turn back now," like disclaimer on the the last chapter of Christopher Milne's Enchanted Places.
Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle are also novels that deal with the vampires, but these tie them in with the Mayfair Witches, which is a separate series of Rice's, though the Talamasca was a binding element between the two.
Anne Rice's vampires indeed had no sex drive, but they were far from impotent. Rather they were eternally erect, which I would imagine an inconvenience for one with no sex drive.
Armand was 15 when he died, I believe. Maharet was the one who made Jessie a vampire.
And it definitely was Akasha who made Lestat sun-proof. In drinking her blood he gained the powers of the most ancient of vampires, and his 'suicide' attempt took place in Tale of the Body Thief.
The mummy wasn't likely in this movie, but candidates for your missing seat could be Khayman, Eric, or Mael.

Heard a rumor that Lestat popped up in the Mayfair series. That true?
