What sysrems will you see on your 97 ford ranger when the thermostat has gone bad?

If your engine thermostat sticks open it will run cooler on your temperature gauge and you won't see the temperature gauge go up to the point where your engine thermostat opens and then the temperature gauge will show a drop in temperature , your check engine light will probably come on , your gas mileage will be less , the heat from your heater probably won't get as hot If the engine thermostat were to stick in the closed position your engine will overheat ( but there are several other causes for an engine to overheat )

What is the standard operating temp at idle on a 91 Chevy lumina is it normal for it to get to 220 before the cooling fans kick on or should the temp gauge never go past halfway?

First of all, the temperature gauges are usually way out of calibration because automobile gauges are made so cheap. You're looking for the trend of what the gauge indicates, rather than believing the indicated temperature displayed is correct. The normal operating temperature is 195 degrees F. On the gauge, you will initially see the temperature raise above normal, followed by a drop in temperature as the thermostat opens. It would be a good idea to place a drop of touch up paint or stick-on dot at the usual indicated temperature to have as a base line indication.
