Your network has no vertex attribute called 'name'. Maybe you have and
'id' attribute and want to use that as 'name':
V(g)$name <- V(g)$id

Perhaps you can do the same in Visone, i.e. adding a vertex attribute
called 'name'. How does Visone convert a graph to an igraph graph? I
have no idea. Since this works fine without Visone, maybe you want to
contact the Visone authors.

I cannot even read this file, btw.:
> g <- read.graph("trade_1_graphml", format="graphml")
Error in read.graph.graphml(file, ...) :
  At foreign-graphml.c:523 : Cannot parse GraphML file, unknown

I still don't understand why you cannot simply take the graph out of
the list returned by graph.neighborhood?
You need a function that returns the graph? Then define a function for it:

ego <- function(graph, vertex) graph.neighborhood(graph, 1, vertex)[[1]]

What is wrong with this?
