Just tossed 9.1 on my HD after using 8.6 for a long time. But what gives? I thought 9.1 included tear-of menus and the iLife stuff. And a more rectangular appearance for the menus. At least on the 9.x machines I've used elsewhere. Is this stuff that only comes with 9.9.2?
OS 9.2.1 and .2 are bug fixes, performance improvements, and some wedges to make Classic work better with OS X. No big new functionality.
The application menu will tear-off in OS 9.1. I think there's some shareware to do that to some of the other menus; not sure.
If you want pretty interface stuff, check out Kaleidoscope. It has so many desktop schemes, you can really really get lost!

iLife is ... mostly an OS X thing. And even then its apps run like crap on older/slower Macs.
There's an ancient version of iTunes available for OS 9. It's nice for the streaming audio, but it's such a CPU pig for just playing mp3s and such I recommend SoundApp instead.

I vaguely recall there may be an ancient version of iMovie available. Ditto for iPhoto. Maybe someone else has the specifics?
