Can you not, from within Tiger, insert the OS 9.1 install CD and install OS 9.1 on your "empty" HD (or a partition there)?
I think you're correct here, I don't think you need to be booted in OS 9 to install OS 9, you should be able to do it from OS X. If not, you can download the Netboot 9.2.2 OS X installer package for free from Apple and remove the two Netboot extensions from the System folder>Extensions folder AND the System file called "Login" and you're golden:

I may be misunderstanding the importance to you of running OS 9.1 within the Mac OS X Classic Environment, but if I'm not mistaken, I think Classic calls for OS 9.2.2 and nothing earlier, at least in all the versions of OS X I've run (Panther and Tiger).
No, OS 9.1 is the minimum Classic system, but it will nag you to upgrade to 9.2.2.
I'm not sure why a Digital Audio that came with OS 9.1 pre-installed would have a problem with any 9.1 disc (aside from any optical drive issues). If anyone else here knows, the answer would enlighten me.
I think it's probably the "digital audio", I don't think the retail OS 9.1 System has any support for "digital audio"?
