The Mini has DVI out so most new monitors have DVI, otherwise you will need a DVI-RBG connector. My Dell monitor was DVI and came with the adaptor also.

Any monitor will work, VGA or DVI. The mini supports and comes with adaptors for both.

It's probably a pretty standard monitor, nothing too special. Yes it'll work.

You shouldn't have any problems with that monitor.
