I am happy with my preflop call but am unsure about the post-flop action.

1. I called the flop, given that I have an overpair and feel that villain should CB with overcards, AX, etc. How do you feel about this?

2. I feel like the Turn should be a fold as the Ax CB bluffs are now beating me and overpairs (to my 9's) are becoming more likely, given the double barrel. Is this too weak?

I would fold, too, OTT.
You do not beat any of Villain's value range: AA, ATs+, AQo+
What bluffs does Villain have? KcQc, KcJc, KcTc, QcJc, QcTc, JcTc 6 combos, given he 3bets all of them vs UTG.
With hands like KK-TT I would assume that Villain will try to get to SD cheap and won't turn them into bluffs. He probably should bet JJ-TT with some low frequency, though.
Of course it could be that Villain overbluffs here and had too much air in his bluffing range, but I doubt that.

Preflop and flop standard.

I think on this turn villain would want to do a lot of checking, and his bet seems polar to me. If I am betting this turn, I would always bet AK and FD and check back underpairs and weaker Ax hands.

Annoying, but not much than folding i guess. As monteCarlol said, it could be that ppl overbluff this turn as A is scare card etc..

Its interesting what hands we need to continue with on the turn, I guess Ax and bdfd floats oop, are we folding JJ, TT?

Any info on villain would be nice, but readless i would play the hand the same what you did.

Cheers,

This hand can consider folding on flop already to this sizing. Its better to peel there broadways as those block top of villain range and especially AQ/AK have similar equity as 99 against bluffs.

As for turn - this ace is interesting card because it should stop a lot of his TT-KK from betting. You are also unblocking all KQ/KJ/KT/QJ/QT/JT that are bluffs there so in general 99 is probably better bluffcatcher there than JJ or TT. I think knowledge of villain strategy is crucial there. If he has decent 3bet range and bet relatively frequently on flop then we can consider calling.
