Very cool!
Happy holidays right back at ya!

If the monitor has a bridged input / output (pro monitors do), the signal will be fine.
Another solution is using a video DA that takes one input and gives you multiple outputs (as you said, you can NOT use a “Y-adapter” on video and maintqain quality).
Your questions are a bit basic, and that’s OK… but I suggest that you find a local engineer-type in your area to help get you set up right.

Audio that is clipped and over-modulated is basically ruined.
No filter will majke it right.
Now, consider that I have not heard your tracks, but from your description, its not possible to correct it with basic audio filters.
You can turn it down, but once it gets recorded with distortion… its a gonner.
Sorry.

Don’t use the output from a deck as a client monitor.
Route the output from your video card to a client monitor.

May I suggest:
Use two GOOD lavs, Ch. 1 & 2.
One on the groom (it will pick him up AND the bride as they will be facing each other and close together.)
One on the officiant.
Then on CH 3 & 4 (if available) general ambience and/or singer(s).
Remix during the edit.

Do the timeline settings match the capture settings?

Canon tapes (especially older ones) are notorious for not being able to be played on other brand units, or sometimes only on the camera that recorded them.
Try playing/capturing the tapes in a borrowed Canon camcorder (any model) if the original camcorder is not available.
It certainly COULD be an LP-speed tape, and you might be in a mess if that’s the case.
That tape might not play on anything other than the original camcorder, and maybe not well, even then.A older Canon DV LP speed tape just might be the most finicky DV tape ever recorded.

I don’t know that the audio would necessarily be out-of-sync.
Regardless of sample-rate, the audio plays based on SECONDS, not samples.
But PD150’s are not known for “odd” sample rates (unlike some Canon camcorders, which seem to ignore all known standards for audio.)
Just play the file and see.
You can always re-capture. -
Sorry, but this kind of procedure is too complex to adequately describe in a forum.
There is various 3rd Party software that can help “motion track” once you manually outline the actor in question.
Hope you’ve got a lot of time to invest,

Its much easier to re-shoot the scene while actually projecting the images on the actor.
You’d use a standard video projector playing the scenes you desired, aim that at the actor, and shoot with a camera.To do this fully in post it is extremely time-consuming.
You must first “rotoscope” the actor (cut his shape out, frame-by-frame) and then key the other image over that cut-out.The image you add this way will not be very convincing as it will not follow the contours of the actor’s shape as a REAL projection would do.
