If I have an older apple imac with an m1 chip, could I use that as a monitor with the mac mini to upgrade?
The iMac M1 does not support being used as an external monitor. You would need to buy a monitor for the Apple Mac mini with the M4 chip, B&H # APZ1CFMM49.

Is this a good option for photo editing?
Is this a good option for photo editing?
The short answer is yes, it is a good option for photo editing.
The longer, and less encouraging answer is yes, if you add sufficient storage space and speed externally to this system.
Even if you choose the minimum specification, these M4 Mac Minis have enough oats to do the job. But as indicated elsewhere here, you will need a fast, large capacity external drive to gain that ability for intense work. Adobe applications like Photoshop and Lightroom, as well as other high-end editing programs, need lots of free space to use for swapping data for detailed editing of large graphic files.
More RAM is better still, of course. But that's pretty expensive â especially for System on a Chip (SoC) computers like the latest Mac Minis which cannot be easily upgraded. So fast external storage is the only practical option. You would want to get the largest, fastest NVMe blade SSD you can find, then put in a more expensive (like ~$100US and up) Thunderbolt 4 external drive case. USB Type C/Thunderbolt 3 cases will physically connect, and cost more like $10-15 and up, but will only transfer data a fraction of the speed of the faster Thunderbolt 4 external cases.

Can the RAM be user upgraded? If so, what memory is required
No, the Apple Mac mini with M4 Chip does not allow for users to upgrade the RAM. The "new" Apple M Chip format has the memory unified with the CPU, so RAM cannot be changed once a unit is made. You must purchase the computer with the amount of RAM that you will want to have for the duration of the computer's lifetime.
