1)
We will provide SSH tunnelling to MySQL on the remote host soon. Untill then you will have to use a 3rd party application to establish a SSH-tunnel. But with a 'dedicated server' I think it should be possible to open a MySQL port and allow in MySQL configuration to use it!

3)
You should not compare MONyog with phpMyAdmin (or 'Query Browser' from MySQL AB or our own SQLyog for that sake). Those are for managing DATA primarily – not the server ENVIRONMENT. 'MySQL Administrator' from MySQL AB does display server configuration variables and status but only statically and provides no advisors (but it is a nice program to have for not so experienced users who want to change configuration – and most of all to get an overview of what configuration parameters are available!). Also MONyog lets you view and EXPLAIN queries in real time and more like that (including analyzing the SLOW QUERY LOG) will be added in the next about 2 months.

MONyog is preferable for
1) performance and architectural simplicity
2) pricing and license terms (perpetual license – no annual/periodic subscription fee)
3) configurability
