As long as you play the Ace and King on two of the first three rounds, you always take four tricks when the suit breaks 32.

You can pick up the suit for one loser when RHO has a stiff honor by first cashing the Ace and then running the Nine.

I think this is equivalent to Redrag's line because he will take the proven finesse on round three of the suit. It doesn't make any difference whether you play low to the Nine or run the Nine, does it?

It doesn't matter as long as the short hand still has a card to lead. I posted a hand here not long ago with a very similar combo (only it was a 6-2 where it does matter which you do)

I think its important to lead the 9 toward the AK842 initially with the intention of rising and playing a card back to the 7. With QJT5 or QJT6, LHO might split in case his partner has 76 or 75.

Ditto. They may also just make a mistake or not have worked it out before they have to decide.
