So the adapter would be an extra cost? Secondly, can I shut the MB and run off the monitor, or does it HAVE to be left open?

MBs (unlike the iBooks) support clamshell mode. Basically you hook it up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse, shut it to put it to sleep and then wake it up with the keyboard. Pretty simple, and it work's just fine.
