DVI and HDMI cables are similar and compatible for digital video signals. HDMI also carries audio while DVI does not. If a DVI cable, connector or adapter is used anywhere in the signal path, the audio signal will be lost. As many computers have a DVI output and most televisions have HDMI inputs, it is common to find at least one HDMI input on a television with a linked analog audio input. It is usually a 3.5mm jack socket near the HDMI connector. To make use of it, the television's menu setting allows either HDMI or analog audio to be selected. Consult your television user manual for full details.
It would be MUCH cheaper to get an HDMI adapter for one of your other ports. For example you might have a DVI or mini-DVI port. Keep in mind though that DVI is video only. If you only have a VGA output, you can get a converter box that can covert VGA output to HDMI, but your laptop likely will not support HD resolutions.
When you use a VGA cable coming out of the monitor, the monitor is giving out an analog signal through the VGA connection. For the monitor to give out a digital signal, you need a DVI or HDMI cable. The VGA to HDMI cord just converts the analog signal into a digital signal so it's not completely useless, however the quality will not be as good as an HDMI to HDMI or DVI to DVI or HDMI to DVI
Yes -- HDMI is essentially DVI -- there are adapters to convert between the two.

Yes, a DVI input will usually accept an HDMI signal via an adapter cable but make sure the TV input is HDCP compliant otherwise protected content, such as Blu-ray movies, will not be viewable. Also be aware that DVI inputs do not carry any sound, so you will need to connect the PS3 audio with a separate cable to the TV or amplifier. Many TVs have a pair of phono inputs for this purpose but may need to be assigned as the audio connection when DVI input is selected.
