Also what would have happened if Melkor had been good and Manwe evil. Would it have been the same as in the silmarillion or much much worse? 
any ideas?

If Sauron had won, the Valar would not have intervened for the reasons already given and as Elrond made clear at the conference at Rivendell. Sauron's power could be ended only by the people of Middle-earth. Sauron's victory would plunge Middle-earth into a nightmare era of destruction, oppression, slavery and hopelessness.
I like to think of Gandalf or his successor wandering around the slave camps of Middle Earth, keeping the old stories alive, spreading hope and the knowledge that a free world had once existed until, after many generations of men, Sauron felt secure enough to let his guard slip enough for someone to get at The Ring and destroy it.
Dictatorships never last for ever. The German Third Rich was brough down by external force and the Soivet empire ended because of internal economic collapse.
Sauron's reign would eventually fail.
Day will come again!
