Lets say I had a really wide monitor and I was playing a game would I be able to see more of an area rather than a 1920x1080 monitor?

This is just for curiosity sorry xD I was just really curious

It depends on the game and what the programmer designed it to do. In some cases, yes.

Have a look on http://www.wsgf.org/ at some games and see what they look like over a variety of resolutions and aspect ratios.

 Omega (server):                 Fractal Arc Mini R2 | i3 4130 | 500GB Maxtor | 2TB WD Red : Raid 1 | 3TB Seagate Barracuda | 16GB RAM | Seasonic G-450w

Yes, that is because you would effectively see more peripheral vision from the characters perspective and so on.

Yes, provided the game supports the resolution your monitor runs at. 

 

EDIT: Some games may work to fix the horizontal resolution, so it would be zoomed in, while others' UI may bug out.

I would only really use the second monitor as one for extra content. YouTube, internet browsing, etc. Stuff like that.
