1) Is there any advantage to using "Classic" mode rather than just
re-booting into OS9.2.2 off my other hard drive? For now, the majority of my
computing will still be done in OS9 and I'll only be using OSX for those
apps that need it (DVD-SP2, iPhoto, etc.).
In other words, can I wipe off the OS9 I installed for Classic mode and use
that drive space for OSX apps?
In my opinion there is a definite advantage to running in Classic mode as opposed to booting into OS 9. You do not have to keep rebooting between two systems; instead you stay booted in X. That way you gradually learn what you can do in X, but still are able to run your Classic apps. I think you will find that there are more and more things that you *prefer* to do in the X way, using X apps.
How about compatibility issues? I have heard that some apps don't run as well (or at all) in Classic mode.
I have the patience for a reboot every once in a while if it means my apps will work better in pure OS9 than in Classic mode.
I don't personally know of any compatibility issues. The OS 9 type apps I run seem to do just fine in Classic mode. YMMV. I guess you'll just have to do some comparison runs. If there are apps that you run often and you find they run significantly better in pure OS 9, then by all means do the reboot.
