Kevin -- I don't know much about CentOS (Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone) and compatibility with Red Hat 9. I suspect that an upgrade is probably safe, but back everything up first just in case, and remember the old Russian proverb - trust but verify.
In any case, staying with RH9 is not an option - never use an OS version/release once it is no longer supported because of the danger of unremedied vulnerabilities. I am traveling and don't have the time to give more useful advice. Sorry.
