All libraries are accessible for every languages that are targeting 
.NET/Mono runtime.
Mono si language independant, it execute a low level code (IL for 
Intermediate Language).
Each compiler (C#, VB.NET, etc.) generate IL code.

System & co are base libraries defined by ECMA standards and/or 
compatible with Microsoft .NET.
Others libs may be in different places, some are Mono specific, other 
GTK specific, etc.

No, Mono runtime is language independant.
Mono project (not only runtime) also provide a C# compiler (mcs), a 
VB.NET compiler, a Java compiler (ikvm) and a JScript compiler.
Some others compiler for Boo or Nemerle are also provided but not 
supported (I think)
