Horus, I'm not sure I know what I want to do with this game, if anything :) It just caught my attention and I'm trying to work out if its something I could GM or play...
7th Sea is really about the setting. If you're looking to do something in that setting, you're golden. If not, and you want to adapt the mechanics of 7th Sea to another setting, get ready for a ton of reading, head-scratching, ciphering, and just generally wondering, "Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, Over?"
That may not be worth your while, I don't know. The quick start mentioned previously could probably help you decide all that before you get in too deep.

You mention: intrigue and thrilling heroics. What kind of intrigue? What kind of heroics?
Again, the setting of 7th Sea is all about larger than life. Save the damsel in distress, fight a duel for your honor or to avenge a family member's murder, go on a mission for Queen and Country to uncover ancient relics of unimaginable power, all the while keeping them from other seekers such as yourself. Staying out of the clutches of the Inquisition (you can't Torquemada anything, I tell ya!). All these and more are possible.

BTW. Are there fantasy monsters in this game? If so, are they a common thing - or is it a low fantasy kind of world?
I haven't encountered any yet. Lord help us if we ever run up on a Syrneth that's still living.
That might get
interesting.
I get the real sense that mankind's inhumanity to mankind is where the true evil lies, but I might be wrong. The game is yet young.
As for high and low fantasy, I guess that would depend on what you consider high and low. It doesn't have elves and nasty hobbitses, goblins, ghouls, and dragons (that I know of), so it might be considered Low Fantasy/High Adventure.
