Cassette. Chain should be fine, ditto front and rear mech.

Imho cassette (9 speed obviously) and 9 speed chain. Assuming the new cassette does not breach the capacity of the rear mech.

I did an experiment, which showed a typical 8 speed chain should work ok-ish with a 9 speed Campag block, but I definitely wouldn't recommend with 9 speed Shimano cassettes, which have narrower sprocket pitch and thicker sprockets.
