Is the "monk' the best job in the game?

It depends a lot on the battle. On normal dungeons, it's best to have a balanced party. The special themed parties are good against some bosses. Sometimes 4 Monks is great against a boss, but there are also fights where using 4 Summoners and having them all cast Titan, Leviathan, Bahamut etc (or whover your strongest summon is) will do the best damage.

When the "character" mentioned above leaves my party, what will happen to all the abilities and job levels i got him? Do those leave my party too?

No Spoiler: the character's spirit will appear and give the person who replaces him all his abilities, levels and stats.

Correct. So nothing is "lost" per se.

Also, the dancer is the best job in the game. Seriously.

No kidding. Spend a while stealing Prism Dresses, Red Shoes, and ribbons, and you are totally set. Add dragon lances (the ones you steal from crysdrgns in the last bit of the game) and !Sshot and you are totally setter

Pair that with the two-handed ability and Mime! sword dance every turn=devestation.

I abused White Magic and Time Magic so badly in FFV its not funny. Let's see, for the first three rounds of combat we apply buffs. And then proceed to beat the snot out of whatever is in front of us in one round lol.

No. As you progress in the game you will find weapons which GREATLY increase your attack power which you can double with 2-handed or hold two incredabley powerful swords with the 2-swords ability. A monks power is limited and eventually you'll see them doing less and less damage as future enemies defences rise.
