Sorry, no English monarch was instrumental in propelling Shakespeare to fame. James I did stand as a sponsor to the theatrical company Shakespeare belonged to, but Shakespeare was no more famous when he retired from that company in 1613 than he was when the King took up the sponsorship of it in 1603. Shakespeare had already built his rep by then.

Shakespeare of course became more and more famous after his death, but it was not due to the royal favour of any monarch--more to the admiration and later adulation of literary figures and theatrical people.

Why did Shakespeare never show us any scenes involving the Montague household?

They were not dramatically necessary. There are two sets of events which propel Romeo and Juliet towards disaster. One is Tybalt's personal quarrel with Romeo, and Mercutio's quarrelsome nature, resulting in the deaths of both of them and Romeo's banishment. The other is Capulet's plan to marry Juliet to Paris, resulting in her panic and willingness to go along with Friar Laurence's harebrained potion scheme. Neither of these involve the Montagues in any way, so we do not see them.
