"widzisz" and "mokro". Meaning "to see" and "wet" respectively. Now, that's what Google translate says...and those words I've run across in communication from Poles (in Poland).

However, Wiktionary doesn't have those as forms of the words...so, is Wiktionary wrong? Or is there a different meaing for the words?

correct
Look up widzieæ and mokry - these are basic forms.
Widzisz is "you see" and mokro means "it's wet".
Precise meaning always depends on the context.

I always get mixed up between widzieæ and widaæ. Also wydzieraæ which I mix up with widaæ.

Hmm...I'm not seeing it on the Wiktionary declension table (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mokry). But, that would explain it if it means "it is wet".

Would this apply to other words as well? Like "sucho" for "it is dry" and "choro" for "it is ill"?

Sucho yes, also ch³odno, gor±co etc, "It's ill" isn't something most people would need to say.

Hungry, it's chilly and my home is far away.
A sad statement sometimes said in a desperate situation - even if you are home..
It may apply to many people nowadays.

It doesn't mean "to see" it means 'you see' or 'you are seeing'.

Semsem:
mokro

It's wet
