Is it possible to have both 8 & 9 on my computer without one overwriting the other?  I'm so afraid of messing up my 8 runtime (I've never upgraded - and I tend to break things)... that I'd like to just have both and each with their own runtime.  Is this possible?

You can install each of them to separate locations (it does so by default)

I have P7, P8, PP, PP2010, and PP2012 all living under one roof and their runtimes are interconnected.  As wimvdb posted, they install separately within their own folders.

Then, is it just as simple as copying over my 8 runtime to the new one?

No, just add the P8 runtime as an external runtime to P9 (Press the Add Runtime button in the library and browse to the P8 runtime)

Now you have everything available in P9

Never, ever merge runtimes from different versions.  There are systems component that will get entirely corrupted by doing this.  Especially the python script which has changed between P8 &P9.  You are better off externally linking the runtimes.
