Is there a general solution explicitly worked out for how a monopole and electic charge would interact? Of course the electro-static solution is that there is no interaction, but the electro-dynamic solution would not be so trivial, as moving charges/monopoles would induce magnetic/electic fields.

Interaction of a moving electric charge and a magnetic field is well worked out... I think the specific issue of an electric and magnetic monopole was worked out by Paul Dirac.
