I already have an Ezuri, Renegade Leader 1 vs 1 deck but was thinking about building a second one so i was thinking if Memnarch is a good 1 vs 1 commander.

Slow if you're not playing a combo deck; if playing a combo deck, generals like Azami, Lady of Scrolls and Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir are better choices.

Not really. It's slow, and being mono color really limits your options.

Your best choice is Geist of Saint Traft. With the right cards he can go undefeated.

That's not true. Geist is a viable commander, but it's hardly the best deck.
Grand Arbiter, Maelstrom Wanderer, Narset, Anafenza, Doran, Child of Alara, have all done well in events. The format is pretty diverse.

Be a real pro and use Tymaret, the Murder King. I do, it's fun!
Actually, though. You can kill people 1v1 pretty quick with Aurelia, the Warleader or go a spell route with Melek, Izzet Paragon.

There are a lot of very good Mono Blue generals in Duel Commander. Memnarch is not one of them. It costs a lot of mana to cast, and then the SAME amount of mana to do anything other than be a moderately sized creature. If you want to play artifacts in mono blue, play Arcum Dagsson, otherwise, play Clique, Kami of the Crescent Moon, Azami, Teferi, or Thassa. All those decks have seen varying amounts of success, and allow for a variety of playstyles. Memnarch is slow and doesn't offer any real incentives to play it.

Whoever you play against will hate you. So no.
