Getting around Montreal with limited or no French is definitely doable: I have family and friends who are English-only in Montreal and are fine. I could see employment in the service or retail industry being a problem if you speak no French at all though. Montreal has several schools (McGill, Concordia, etc), so there's decent competition for low-level jobs during the school year. I wouldn't worry about learning "France french" versus "Quebec french". You'll sound like an anglophone speaking French no matter what. I learned French in school (my parents are Anglophones) and I can understand both France-french and Quebec-french equally well.

Also, the major roads in the city seem to be permanently under construction, so I personally would avoid owning a car if possible anyway. Then again, it's cold in the winter.
