Is this a mono stylus? Can it be used as one with the cartridge its designed for?

The stylus itself is agnostic, neither stereo nor mono, it just is. This stylus can be used on a mono cartridge like the AT-VM95SP but not for 78’s. Use this one for micro groove records only.

Which vm95 stylus is best for use on old 78's?

Answer: None of them. This is from Audio-Technicas web site. With the resurgence in vinyl popularity over the last decade or so, vinyl enthusiasts are now venturing into their ancestors’ attics and secondhand stores to enter the realm of 78 RPM records! Playing a 78 RPM record properly is a little different than playing a 33 1/3 RPM or 45 RPM record. Audio-Technica’s AT-LP120XUSB, AT-LP140XP, and AT-LP1240-USBXP turntables will allow the platter to spin at the 78 RPM speed. But the correct speed is only part of the solution – a proper 78 RPM stylus (needle) should also be used when playing 78 RPM records on your turntable. Please note that a 78 RPM stylus with a diameter of 3 mil is necessary for shellac records (pre-1958) and a stylus with a diameter of .6 mil is designed for 78 RPM vinyl records.

Will it work with a sansui SR-212 with a stock cartridge?

No, it won't. You must buy a stylus made for that cartridge.

Does this fit sayno TP-1030 turntable?

Provided you have the rest of the cartridge body "yes" it will fit, but what I am looking at in your question (Audio-Technica AT-VMN95C Conical Replacement Turntable Stylus) is just the replacement stylus stylus, no body. You need both.
