Many gauges are narrower than 18" and may take credit for the narrowest, its just my opinion (for what its worth) 18 inch/500mm are about as small as one might go and still create a "typical" narrow gauge train.
Monorails and 15" gauge trains have some differing physical characteristics, as far as the human interface goes. Not that they are any less fun, or could be useful in some sense for hauling material. I am not aware that any locomotives were built for 400mm gauge Decauville systems, but would be interested if there were.
