The FPS of a game is going to depend on the processing power in your CPU and on your graphics card.
The monitor will have no effect on the FPS your games run at.
Many gamers prefer CRTs over LCD monitors because they blur less with movement and can support higher vertical frame rates, If you actually have >60 FPS on the game then you need a monitor running faster than a 60 Hz refresh rate.
Personally, I would probably up the resolution of the game, dropping the FPS, but getting more detail. But then I am not a serious gamer.

Depends on the monitor usually Bigger = Worse FPS. It really depends on your ratio (800x600 for example)

CRT monitors (cathode ray tube) usually have higher hertz ratings than LCD; LCD's give a crisper picture (blacks appear as true black insead of dark gray). On a decent LCD monitor, you won't notice any difference in speed.
