And after she used the Force to get back into the ship nobody onboard seemed surprised. Had she used the Force in that way before?

I think it is safe to assume that Luke will be a Force ghost, obviously Rey will see him. But will he also appear to Ben/Kylo as he said he would?

And finally, will the next movie, Episode IX, take place several years later?

The movie did leave off with the Resistance being all but destroyed. So it would take several years for the Resistance to rebuild and be able take on the First Order. Also, that could be a way to address Carrie Fisher’s death.
