Would all intelligent life in the universe evolve using the same visible light spectrum as us to see? Is our slice of the spectrum innately superior for vision?

I'd say it's the most effective general range - yes, some creatures go a bit higher or lower than humans, but it's pretty close.

Visible light is pretty good at going a good distance through the atmosphere without diffusing too much.  It's passive - ambient light is used and we don't have to project anything and reveal our presence to a predator.  The wavelength is small enough that the sensory organs don't have to be particularly large.

I'd say given A) the spectrum of the light given off by the Sun and B) the atmosphere of Earth that it was more or less inevitable HERE.

Elsewhere?  Tell me what the most abundant wavelength of light is that reaches the creatures in question, with a high enough frequency to allow for small eyes... I'd suspect it'd be near our range, but maybe not identical.
