​VMD reads inpcrd files just fine. inpcrd files have exactly the same
format as "Amber restart files" -- so make sure you use that format when
loading in VMD. From there, you can have VMD save PDB files that you can
use in NAMD when you need a PDB file.

There are also programs in AmberTools that will generate PDB files for you
from a prmtop and inpcrd file, including cpptraj and ambpdb.

Good luck,
Jason
