Am I correct that 3.5 mm. jacks are designed so that they work with TR,
TRR, and TRRR plugs.

That is, the jacks intended for stereo sound and a mike will also work
fine with just a stereo speaker plug, and also with a monaural plug?
(Will it just have the left channel or will it combine the two?)

If you plug a mono plug into a stereo jack you short out one channel
the ring and the one that feeds the tip will come through. Whether
that blows the amp depends on the design
