To address a monsignor;
Taken from the Wikipedia article on Monsignors:

"In some countries, Monsignor (or its foreign language equivalent) is the usual style of address for all higher prelates of the Catholic Church, including bishops and archbishops, while in others (particularly English-speaking countries) it is used only for priests who have received certain specific honors. The written form of address for a priest-monsignor is: "the Reverend Monsignor (last name)", and the spoken form of address is: "Monsignor (last name)"."

And a Archbishop;
Answer
your grace
And if the Archbishop is retired;
You must remember that even though he is retired that he is still a bishop and a priest. Ordination ispermanent and therefor retired or not he deserves the title and respect of his position. It might be the case though that he wants to be called by a different title in which case it would be best to oblige.

Ceck this site for different titlement names and what to call in different countries and customs;
