3. If you miss your 90 minute connection the very worst that can happen is that you have to wait for the next 9W flight which is ~12 hours later. However you can insist that they put you on another airlines which will get you there earlier.
4. Looking at the BOM-RAJ schedule it seems like the next flight is at 4 PM. So there’s really not much to be gained by booking a separate flight.

Yes there are weather/ATC exceptions, but even so duty of care kicks in.
I've done connecting flights in India on single ticket with 90 mins connecting time, back when our company used to book on Jet airways. It's stopped from last few months though
in this instance i agree that there isn't much choice but in general i would try to avoid a 90 minute international to domestic connection in bom....i've done so before & its cutting it too close for comfort....
