I just got one of these for me home theater setup because my tv isn't capable of 5.1 passthrough and my roku doesn't have a dedicated audio out. They work great (I had another one for a couple years until it crapped out). I'd say it's worth a shot. The lag you get over HDMI through the TV is usually from the TV processing the audio, I'd imagine just splitting the signal shouldn't introduce any noticable delay.
Cheapest is probably going to be something like this, 1080p to 1080p audio splitter.

That's correct.
The sound quality will be atrocious, yes
Make sure you're in line in-mode and not mic mode on the computer.
See if you can adjust the monitor's outbound volume (down probably) to avoid clipping.
You'd need an HDMI sound extractor (spdif) to a sound card that supports spdif in.
Digital doesn't have that quality issue. The problem is if there is audio delay. Anything ASIO ready should not do that.
Edit (like this, 1080p, no HDCP, so turn that off on your PS4): https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-Optical-Splitter-Converter-Chromecast/dp/B01MSX36H7/
You'll need a soundcard that supports toslink in.
