Q: 1. If I use my Sony A7SII, what cable do I need to use to be able to connect through the sled to send the signal to the on board monitor? or if it's included already?

A: You would need a DC powered converter box that converts HDMI to HD/SDI BNC. Operators will usually Velcro a converter box underneath the top stage and power it with the Steadicam D-Tap to 2.1mm DC power cable item # 815-0104. The Aero has 1x BNC video input connector and 1x D-Tap power output on the top stage.
