When you say slipping, is the chain slipping but remaining in the same gear (i.e., is it jumping over teeth) or is it dropping into the next highest gear? If it's the former then the culprit is probably the cassette--even if it's less than a year old, depending on how much it was ridden it

A 105 can usually handle a 30-tooth cog, but 32 is pushing your luck. Like others have said, you need to put a proper MTB derailer on to eliminate the 105 as the culprit, then see if there's still a shifting problem. And yes, 9-speed derailers are fine friction-shifting 8-speed cassetes. Joe
