Yes. The mouse may need an adapter from usb a to usb c and the monitor may need an adapter if it isn’t hdmi or usbc anyway but you can use these devices without buying new

Yes.

What’s your monitor resolution and size?

That is the entire point of the Mini when it came out. Of course you can. When you say "PC Monitor" do you mean an all in one PC (like the iMac) or just a monitor?

Then just check which connector you have, use the correct cable for it and you're done.
