Tested on my side, everything works as expected. Firstly make sure you have correctly set the TFVC support.

Based on the error message, seems it's related to the workspace. Make sure you have correctly mapped the workspace. Just try to remap the existing workspace or create a new workspace and map sources to a new local folder, then check that again.

If that still not work and you are sure that no any issues with the workspace, then just try to specify the collection and team project name in the user settings like this:

{
    "tfvc.location": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\Common7\\IDE\\tf.exe",
    "team.remoteUrl": "http://server:8080/tfs/collection",
    "team.teamProject": "TeamProjectName",
    "tfvc.restrictWorkspace": true,
    "window.zoomLevel": 2 
}
