The pidof shows pid of all matching processes - in case of apache there is one master httpd process (parent) which spawns number of child processes to handle particular requests - if apache is stopping it may take a while before they handle all pending requests and stop. Since the pidfile doesn't exist i suppose apache is not running on your machine and only some child processes remain active (stopping) ... their parent pid will be most probably "1" (their original parent exited). You can verify apache's status for example using 'apachectl status' and also by trying to connect to the http service which should fail.
If despite missing pidfile apache is running and serving requests, then you have some problem with apache's startup script.
Note that monit runs the script in "sandbox" and purges environment variables when starting the script (for security reasons). If you apache's startup depends on some variable, you will need to modify the start script to include it (apache usually uses "envvars" file which is should contain variables required for apache).

OK.
Is the apache running then after monit start? If so, is the pidfile updated with correct pid?

The pidfile should be created either by the start script or started program itself (in this case apache).
Are you sure that your apache instance creates the pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid? The pidfile location depends on apache configuration (for example ubuntu uses usually /var/run/apache2.pid which can be customized either via apache2.conf PidFile statement or apache's envvars file APACHE_PID_FILE variable)
