I know it has 'mini-vga' but can it be connected to another monitor, so you can sync, and run at the same time like a dual monitor setup?

Yes and no. The way it is set up standard is for mirroring only. However you can download a hack called the screen spanning Dr. that will allow for a spanning dual screen setup. Keep in mind that this is not supported by Apple and can potentially void your warranty.
