Completely standard hand. A9o is definitely good enough to isolate a limper, and top pair is good enough to bet for value on the flop.

No problem. If you are unsure, you played a hand well, its fine to share it and get confirmation, even though you won. Best of luck with your game

I think it was a good play. You had a good stack and position, fair raise.

It depends on what hands you think the player has and how he plays.
if he has a hand that is going to pay you better to raise
