Answer 1

you can't use an adapter to get from vga to hdmi because vga is analog and hdmi is digital

the adapter on newegg is from hdmi to dvi-d, and your monitor doesn't have a dvi input

you would have to by a converter for $100+ to get from hdmi to vga

if the xbox 360 has a component out (three video cables: red, green, and blue) then you could convert that to vga, because they are both analog (i don't know what outputs an xbox 360 has)

Answer 2

I don't see why not, but you'll have to figure out audio output since VGA doesn' transfer the sound.
