Hey,

1. Mono is a bunch of things: framework, runtime and compiler... MonoDevelop
is the IDE, ie: the counterpart of Visual Studio for Mono (which runs using
Mono, or .NET on Windows). So Mono and MonoDevelop are not similar products
that are in competition or anything.

2. Up to you. You want want to look at these pages:

Can't help you more than that...
