Yes. VNC on new desktop instances. You can find some information in the relevant thread.

No. The following misunderstanding makes your question appear as bad logic ("providing WiFi removed the BlueTooth").
For "USB connection to obtain a monitor" I mean the ability to create a network using the USB and running desktop remote software through it.
Even if the "monitor" system was "blitting through the serial" (or whatever other trick), I do not see how this could clash with other hardware and software components implemented by the vendor.
