I have a DVI-VGA Adapter:
If I have a PC that only has a DVI port, and a monitor that only has a VGA port, what will be the output? DVI or VGA? And what if that was reversed? (I.e. Monitor only takes DVI and PC only takes VGA)

The final output (with the adapter) would be VGA/analog output. If it was reversed (you'd need a different adapter for this, by the way), the output would be DVI, which would have either a digital (DVI-D) or analog output (DVI-A).
All this does is break out the DVI-A connectors on a DVI-I port into a standard VGA connector. Essentially the only point of DVI-A is backward compatibility with older standards, and as such electrically the output is identical to VGA.
