With regards to the Discworld entry: everywhere on the surface of Ankh-Morpork (and debatedly the underground as well) is owned by the Patrician. There's no reason to believe he didn't give Sally a blanket invitation "offscreen" before she met Vimes.
Otto is harder to explain without either assuming the reporters he accompanies are repeatedly inviting him wherever they go (and that that's allowable or resorting to the Discworld concept (Our Vampires Are Different) that the restrictions on vampires are heavily influenced by how "vampiric" they're acting. It's possible that through his conviction that he's a photographer above everything else, Otto can ignore most of the psychological stuff.
