Should do, it's the shifter the contols the travel of the mech, i think.

Be fine as long as it's not a 10 speed.

Adding nothing much here, 😕 (but assuming it's a 9sp mech) it'll be fine.
Just worth a quick check of the hi/low screws on the mech tho' to save over shifting - it might have been set up expecting a very slightly differently spaced cassette.
I'm using an 8sp cassette, 9sp Dura-Ace bar-end shifters (on friction) with a Saint reach mech, and set up for the cassette - it works flawlessly.
