A number of results followed Constantine's alleged conversion:

Firstly, persecution of Christians ceased.

Secondly, Christianity, although not yet a state religion received a degree of encouragement from Constantine.

Thirdly, following from the above came a degree of damage to the Christian ideals of separation from the world. People now flocked into the Christian churches who possibly were so in name only and seeking to win royal rather than God's favor.

Fourthly, also following from the second point above, Constantine himself, despite a clear lack of knowledge of both Christian behavior and attitudes, interfered in various doctrinal discussions. Despite his earlier assistance at the council of Nicea, he later accepted Arius and favored him, despite Aruis' clear heresy.

Fifthly, as far as Constantine himself is concerned, his behavior was ever that of a secular prince, although outwardly professing Christian conversion. He committed murder and other evils after his alleged conversion. He retained the title of pontifex maximus, the highest position of the former state idolatrous religion. Constantine's decision to leave baptism to his death bed, in clear violation of Christian doctrine (although some undoubtedly taught this false idea to him), indicates his failure to understand true Christianity and his continued reliance on ritual rather than the blood of Christ and an inner change of the heart for salvation. This event indicates a decline from apostolic doctrine and practice, a decline which his patronage undoubtedly strengthened.

Which Roman Emperor converted to Christianity after seeing a Chi Rho before battle and later passed the Edict of Milan?

None. You are asking about a myth connected with the emperor Constantine. For starters, Constantine never converted to Christianity during his lifetime. There is a story of him converting on his deathbed, but no substantiation. The "sign in the sky" story only became popular after Constantine's death.
