When responses are submitted, where do they go? Is there a way to summarize or collate the answers?

If you are the owner of the form, there is a tab around the top right in editing mode that can show you the overall answers. Otherwise, if you are not the owner, you typically cannot see the answers of other people unless the creator has modified settings allowing you to do so.

How can I develop Survey Monkey as a mobile app, to be used continuously (not a one time event) as a tool for process monitoring data collection for my organization?

Check DataScope.io if you want to collect data the same way as Google Forms but offline in a mobile app and then keep your data in a Google Sheet.
