are monsters allowed to move after attacking a payback reaction? This could greatly affect strategy....

no.

page 20 of rulebook

"After fully resolving the Hero’s attack, the Monster may moveup to its full Movement rating (as listed on its card) and then
attempt an attack against the Hero who attacked him (it cannot
move after attacking). A moving Monster may choose to
open doors and use portals or move in any direction he wishes,
following the same Movement rules and restrictions as Heroes.
The player controlling the Monster doesn’t have to move it or
even perform its attack, if he so desires, but any attack made
by the Monster must necessarily have the active Hero as the
primary target (see example on page 22)."

ah good to know, I guess if I really wanted to use the monster to my advantage, it's probably best to just move him where I want him to without attacking....This is still legit right?

Moving a monster to a location where it is unable to make its attack is completely legit.

from the same section on page 20.
"After fully resolving the Hero’s attack, the Monster may move up to its full Movement rating (as listed on its card) and then
attempt an attack against the Hero who attacked him (it cannot
move after attacking). A moving Monster may choose to
