Are there any vinyl narrow framed replacement windows that allows the existing storm windows and screens to remain in place and be used?

No there isnt. The heat that would build up between the two windows would distort the vinyl.

I don't know what you mean by "narrow framed". However, standard drop in place vinyl replacement windows (those that drop into the old frame) ALL can use the original storm windows.
I've done this several times. You, in effect, end with with a triple glazed window.
Vinyl replacements install from the inside after the old sashes and stops are removed. Thus the storm windows are not disturbed.

As mentioned, I've done it quite a few times. I've never had problems with the distortion of the vinyl.
Of course, I'm in New England. However, we do occasionally get 95 degree summer days.
