Question 1: Is this enough time to transit?
Question 2: Do I need a transit visa if I don't plan to leave the airport? (I'm assuming it would be unwise to even go outside for some Jordanian fresh air, since I'd have to clear security again.)
Question 3: Is there a charge for that transit visa (I'm finding conflicting information online) and if so, which payment methods are accepted?
Question 1: Is this enough time to transit? Yes, 1 hour and 55 minutes should be sufficient for a transit at Queen Alia, especially since your flights are on one ticket.
Question 2: Do I need a transit visa if I don't plan to leave the airport? Generally, if you are transiting through Amman and not leaving the airport, you do not need a transit visa. Jordan allows transit passengers to stay in the transit area without a visa for up to 24 hours.
Question 3: Is there a charge for that transit visa and if so, which payment methods are accepted? Since you do not need a transit visa for such a short connection where you do not leave the airport, this concern does not apply to your situation.
