Are those PCI videocards able to pass through the native video modes?

No. They only display RTG screenmodes. Native modes don't go via the graphics card on the Mediator (or Zorro slot).

If not, how is that set-up used, for example when one wants to play old games? With a 2nd monitor?

Yes, or with a graphics card which supports passthrough, like the CV64, or with a scandoubler with a VGA switch. If you think the video output is dead then you could try a video slot scandoubler.
