1. Yes, DirectX 9.0c has been updated multiple times without the version number changing, which IMO isn't a good idea, but that's the way it is. Having DirectX 9.0c doesn't mean you have the latest version now, so go run the web installer and all your games should work.

2. If anything, later versions of DirectX should improve performance, rather than reduce it (or at least this has been my experience with DirectX.

3. DirectX 10 is Vista only.
