Is there a way to hook up my PS2 to my computer? It sucks wanting to play and having a sibling playing HALO 2.

That depends on what you want. If you want to play PS2 games on your computer, you just download an emulator that lets you do that by inserting the disc into your computer. If you legally own a copy of the game and a PS2, I think it's completely legal.

but can you hook up the PS2 itself to the computer?

Plus what working emulators are there that plays ps2 games?

Nothing like what you would need. neutrinoSX2 apparently can play Blade 2 and Mortal Kombat 5, but those are the only 2 commercial games that are playable. See here.

Do you mean to use the PC monitor as the display for the PS2? You can do that, but you either need an adaptor or a video card with video-in.

If you don't have a vid card with video in, then you need a transcoder. I've got the one in the link, and it works great for my X-Box. It's supposed to work for PS2 as well, although you'll need a hi-def component capable for the ps2.

It's only legal if you rip the BIOS file off your own PS2. I know, stupid technicalities.
