What did an absolute monarchy have to do with the french revolution?
France was an absolute monarchy before the revolution, as it had been for hundreds of years. It meant that the reigning King had absolute power. That was what the revolutionists wanted to get rid of.
It also meant France had 3 estates: the clergy (1st estate), the nobility (2nd estate) and the bourgeoisie (3rd estate). The first 2 estates had a lot of privileges and did not have to pay taxes, even though they were the richest. The revolutionists wanted more equality in France and the abolition of privileges for the clergy and especially the nobility. They wanted a cabinet of ministers chosen by the people instead of chosen by the King. They also clamored for freedom of speech, religion and press.
But the revolutionists turned radical and extreme, and instead of wanting a constitutional monarchy, they spiraled down into the reign of terror, killing thousands of people, including their King and Queen.

What would have happened if King George III had let the American colonies participate in Parliament?
The colonies would have had representation, not taxation without representation. This would probably mean that the riots in the colonies wouldn't have been as severe, so neither would the Intolerable Acts meant to suppress them have. This would at the very least weaken public support for the Revolution later in time and it probably either wouldn't have happened or wouldn't have been successful.

What did the return of the new monarchies bring to Europeans?
Today's Europe has only one 'new' monarchy and that is Spain. Many European countries saw their monarchs disappear in the wake of WW 1, never to return. Those that still are monarchies have royal Houses that usually date from way back. Most of today's European monarchies have no great role in Europe.
In the case of Spain, its newly returned King Juan Carlos almost immediately resigned the near-
dictatorial powers given to him by his predecessor, Spain's dictator Franco. Then he set to work to turn Spain into a democracy, which he accomplished in a relatively short time. Through this process, he made his country elegible for membership of the European Union.
