It's more like, by canon, Innocent Monster is a skill that never has the same effect twice, the true purpose of it is to make a Servant more closely resemble their legends, but the effect heavily varies based on that legend.

For Extra Vlad, it is to make him more similar to Dracula, he gets aspects of Dracula blended in his psyche and that's it, it doesn't make him more powerful, just affects his personality, then you have Elizabeth, who has Innocent Monster C(by canon, not in FGO), but all it really does is to awaken her latent Draconic blood, but because her Draconic blood is the genuine article(the Bathory did actually have Draconic blood in Nasuverse, it's just by the time Elizabeth Bathory was born, it was so dilluted it had gone dormant, her Innocent Monster C awakens it and brings it back up to full power), it grants her a pletora of abilities and makes her much more powerful than she normally would be.

The rank just affects how much of their legend is included, if it will be of benefit or not, it depends on the legend itself.
