You seem to have it pretty sussed out.

The general idea is you should raise to something like 3bb +1bb/limper assuming middling/deep stacks.  Otherwise a push is standard if your M (number of orbits before you get blinded out, go read Harrington on Holdem) is relatively small. Chances you'll take it down? Depends on the other players. Have you seen them get stubborn with suited connectors often, or do they limp/fold almost every time? Have you seen them limp/reraise before? Regardless of if you think you're going to get called, you still want to raise if you think you have the best hand to get heads up, as A9/KJ etc. don't play well multiway.

I generally bet out 3/4 pot or so, or check on a co-ordinated board (say if I have A9 and 3 other people are in the pot with me and the flop is 9h8h7h I'm not very happy with tptk here). Your opponents hand ranges are large, but it's unlikely they will limp/call with something that has A9 beat on an A84 board or KJ an a KQ3 board, for example. Of course if you get raised barring any reads it's usually an easy fold.

Preflop? A limp/reraise is a huge sign of strength. In 95% of cases something like A9 vs. a limp/push is an incredibly easy fold - the only time a call is good is if stack sizes give you pot odds to do so (ie. if one of you is very shortstacked).
