It could be numerous things.
1. check for air leaks on the hoses (listen for hissing or out of the ordinary sounds around these hoses.
2. Throttle butterfly could be not closing completely, comes from carbon buildup.
3. Idle air control valve.It's usually located on the throttle body. The voltage with ignition on should be 10.5-12.5 volts. This means it's getting the right voltage.
4.measure the resistance across the terminals, 6.0 - 13.0 ohms, if not, replace IAC
5.measure the resistance from either terminal, it should be 10,000 ohms or greater, if less, replace IAC valve. it has an internal short circuit.

2003 Saturn Vue 5 speed idle revs and loss of cruise control, seems to run fine at higher gears but revs between 1 and 1.5 rpms during idle.

How did you check code's ? OBD2 scan tool ? There are more computers on your vehicle then just the PCM/ECM - engine computer . BCM - body control module , Air bag module , ABS - anti-lock brakes , instrument cluster etc.... Need a factory scan tool or someother professional type scan tool to read these codes. If the check engine (SES) light is on code's are stored in one of these other modules . Your best bet mite be to have a qualified repair shop check it out .(not dealer )

How many oxygen sensors are in a 2003 Saturn vue v6

2 x oxygen sensors --one after each cat converter
there are also 2 x heated oxygen sensors ( different operation and reporting system) that are before the cat converters or in the exhaust manifolds run the fault codes to find the faulty sensor and it probably isn't either o2 or ho2 sensors

RPMs are idling VERY high...

This is something you need to have looked at now,It could be so many things,from a vacuum leak to a bad sensor.But that is very unsafe to drive.
