Ok, is there a way to do it for just one file?
    

Sure.  For example,

    monotone diff --revision=24517f62e662d91a059f00573757f9a76bee01b9 --revision=094a5075b4bd7fe379f810edeb5f03283b50e13a monotone.texi
  
Thanks, that variant was not on the man/help page.
  
In general, how do I get the history of changes to a given file
(both the diffs and the commit comments)?
    

Well, "monotone log" can be filtered by file.

I don't think either of those necessarily gives you "history".  For
that you'd presumably want to start somewhere and look at ancestors,
whereas I think "monotone log" may well look at all changesets?
(Maybe not; the brief documentation says "print history in reverse
order starting from 'ID' (filtering by 'file')", which makes it sound
as though it's doing the right thing.)

monotone-viz is pretty nice for this kind of thing, if you want an
interactive tool.

There's nothing quite like "monotone annotate", as far as I know.
  
Thanks,

I'm evaluating it for usability and any such pointers help.

The problem is I need the tools to run under MS Windows (XP and 2000) so monotone-viz is out (I could not find any windows builds).

Thanks again
