The answer is no, and no. The reason is you don't know anything about wiring up LCD's, and you're basically designing, FROM SCRATCH, a LCD to VGA (or DVI) interface. It's not something you can juryrig with a few wires.
Monitor with USB connection? Sounds like a regular monitor with a built-in USB hub to me unless you can prove otherwise.
Sell the carcass if your G4 on eBay. A pristine screen is worth a bit of money, probably more than the motherboard. The proceeds may be enough to buy a new LCD monitor. A decent 19" LCD is now $200 or less on Newegg.com
