Sorry to hear about this. My nile escaped a while back, dirt had built up in the tracks of the door and he was able to push the door out. He was gone for about a month with no signs of still being in the house. One day about a month later I heard ton of noise coming from my reptile room and he was in their freaking out trying to climb the walls.
As far as how long a monitor can go without food or water, well that really all depends on the shape your monitor was in when he escaped. My nile still looked good after being out for a month, granted im sure he had the occasional loose cricket or roach to eat. So if your monitor was in really good condition, he should be ok for a while.
I have only had my monitor escape one time, but I have had several snakes escape in the past. They always come back to heat. I always find them near a heated cage or in a rack laying on some heat tape, usually within a day or 2.
Good luck!
