I will answer your questions as you posted them. First though you will need an amplifier which can be plugged into the Left and Right RCA outputs on the piano. For your room size you do not need a lot of power (60 watts or more) but if you would like it to play loud then the sky is the limit.

1) Actual nothing distinguishes a monitor from a bookshelf or floor standing speaker. In fact Axiom speakers are used as monitors in many studios.

2) A "near field" monitor means it is located close to the recording engineer, normally sitting on their board right in front of them. As a side note, Aldo Nova uses the M3s as his near field monitors in his studio. They will sound just as good from a further distance.

3) and 4) Either the M3 or M22 will be powerful enough for your room size. The question is how low you would like to go in the bass frequencies. Both the M3 and M22 have excellent bass for bookshelf speakers but if you would like extension below this you should consider floor standing or adding a sub-woofer for this purpose.
