There are many "components" of Windows 98, far more than seven. In addition to MS-DOS files needed to boot the system, you have WIN.COM, several core drivers, such as VMM.VXD, configuration files like WIN.INI, and dozens of kernel mode and user mode .dlls, like COMCTL32.DLL and GDI.DLL.
No - after Windows 98 came Windows Me & Windows 2000 - then Windows 7.
Windows 7 and windows 98 are both operating systems. What matters is the hardware platform. To answer the question, probably not. Most hardware platforms made in the days of windows 98 will not be sufficient for the needs of the windows 7 operating system.

You do not need drivers for a monitor.
Use VMWare and run a windows 98 or windows 2000 operating system.
It's extremely rare to get discs 'backward compatible'. You may be able to get some software to 'trick' the Windows 98 machine into accepting a Windows 7 disc but since Windows 98 is no longer supported by Microsoft (and hasn't been for some time) you'll probably have difficulty finding a suitable converter.
