Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hard to say. If your 9-speed cassette needs a spacer to fit properly on your wheel, then the wheel may have an 11-speed freehub. If no spacer, it is a 10-speed freehub.

Yes, the width of the cassette / freehub is wider on 11 speed shimano. Sell your current wheel and buy a new one if you're determined to use 11 spd.
