Or is it “The monkey for whom I’m wondering if they can see my ears.”
or
“The monkey, regarding whom, I’m wondering if they can see my ears.”
or
“The monkey who I’m wondering if they can see my ears.”
All of them sound stupid.

Whether would be used if you ask ‘whether the monkey can see my ears or not’ i.e. when there are 2 stated options.
There is an implicit binary choice here, so “whether” fits. Both work, although I, for one, prefer to use “whether” for binary choices and “if” when there are more options. This is similar to my preference for “between” only for two things and “among” for more than two.
