Can a higher-watt USB-C charger safely charge a phone?

With standards-compliant USB Power Delivery equipment, the phone negotiates the power it accepts; a 100-W charger does not force 100 W into it. The cable, profiles, charger quality and device limits still matter.

Does this USB-C port support a monitor?

USB-C describes the connector, not its capabilities. The computer/phone port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode, Thunderbolt or another documented video mode; the cable/adapter and display input must support the chosen resolution.

Will a USB-C to HDMI adapter work with this phone or laptop?

Only if the USB-C port supports video output—typically DisplayPort Alt Mode, Thunderbolt or an explicitly documented display feature. Connector shape alone does not prove video support; verify the exact device specification and the display’s required resolution and refresh rate.
