Will the monitor DVI-I cable fit into the ADC socket and work safely/

No. They're not even the same shape, the plugs won't fit.
You can only use an ADC monitor with an ADC video card.
You need to get a DVI video card to use the DVI monitor.
You can flash cheap PC video cards to Mac ROM using ROMs from:

There's an adapter cable:

but it costs more than a video card, so it's a waste of money and not
cost effective for such an old Mac.
