My monk get Steel Gauntlets of Ogre power. Can he use it and get Unarmored Defense as well ?
Since dexterous attack can use either Dexterity or Strength gauntlet will give more bonus than raw dexterity.
The unarmered defence is based off being unarmored and or only having a monk approved weapon plus no armor. You can then use your bonus from both your wisdon and dex to add to the standard 10 for your armor class.

Unarmored Defense doesn't require that you be using a Monk weapon, just that you not be wearing armor or using a shield. Since those gauntlets aren't armor, you can wear them and still use Unarmored Defense.

Yes, but your Dex ASI will eventually make them moot as you will do more damage without them. However, they are still useful when strength checks are needed.

Gauntlets of Ogre Power are not armor, so wearing them does not have any effect on Unarmored Defense.
