It doesn't; MonoDroid requires Android 1.6 (Level 4) or higher.

However, there is one Mono.Android.dll per API level, and you specify the API level you're targeting within the Project Properties (Applications tab -> Minimum Android to target drop-down).

Yes, they should be, if you're using the appropriate Mono.Android.dll (see above).

You mean this Display.Rotation property?
