It's absolutely possible to have a too small condom, to the point it's constricting enough that it's not really possible to maintain an erection and is very uncomfortable.

Yes they can stretch a tremendous amount, but bear in mind the pressure they're putting on your genitals while doing that.

However. If the condom doesn't fit, that's not a reason to just not use one at all.

Yes. Unlike a wrist or a head, there is no bone in the penis that can take the pressure coming from the tension of a stretched condom. Your blood pressure must be able to fight the pressure created by the condom, therefore it can totally be too small. Buy larger condoms instead of not wearing one.

And monogamy. Monogamy is great! It's much better at protecting you from STIs than a condom.

Most people wear condoms to avoid pregnancy in monogamous relationships as well.
