1) c (both). In Acts 22:9, the verb "heard" is in the accusative, indicating they did not understand what was being said. In Acts 9:7, the verb "heard" is in the genitive, indicating they sensed the sound.

2) a. That they "stood speechless [or 'amazed']" is easily seen as a figure of speech. For example, if someone says that he or she "stands corrected", it's not imperative that he or she be standing at the moment.

3) b. It should remember, however, that in 26:16-18, Paul is speaking before King Agrippa, whose patience would probably be tried by a full, detailed account. As Paul's receiving the instructions in Damascus are not essential to Agrippa's understanding the basic story, there's no reason to include it.
