Yikes! Must have been a 1 day sale. $173 is a very "normal" price on these in the UK.
These will allow you to shift a Shimano 9sp rear derailer and Shimano 9sp cassette? Do you know if this would this work with a Shimano 9sp mountain bike derailer(Should be the same as road, I think.) like a Deore LX or XTR?
Yes.
AFAIK all of the older Shimano MTB derailleurs (the new ones might be different), have the same throw as the road ones (excepting DA 7400).
I've used Campy 10spd shifters and hubbub on a 9spd Shimano drivetrain, and IME it wasn't quite perfect. Also hard to get the cable routed just right and cinched down. C11 shifters (Chorus) have been flawless... like they are made for each other.
