I have a PC tower that I currently use. However, I am looking to get an iMac G5 in the future. I still want to use my PC at times, so is it possible to plug my PC into the iMac and use it as a monitor when required?

There is a way of doing it with another Mac, and it requires some software. I can't find the link, but that same question has come up several times in here.
You won't be able to do it with a PC though.

Your iMac can run domicile windows in various diverse approaches. you should use Apple Boot Camp (loose with Snow Leopard) to place in domicile windows, then your Mac will boot into domicile windows in case you want. you additionally can use Parallels to run domicile windows interior OS X. i do no longer understand why you may want to apply domicile windows nevertheless, it sucks.

No but I recommend you get a program that adds windows to your Mac. You can then run all of the windows programs.

Stay away from Mac. Get a Dell XPS 2010, pricey but worth it.
