Ryanair and carry on?
I'm wondering if I can take a backpack as a carry on? I mean this bag in particular https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017K4FL3E...ing=UTF8&psc=1 Will i have issues, or should I take a smaller carry on?

But note that most US rollaboards are too big for the "main" bag.

As above, you need to know the dimensions once packed. You say "not stuffed to the gills" which gives a lot of leeway, but look at the volume of the bag linked (35l) compared to the volume of the permitted bag, and you'll see a huge difference.

The bag is basically for a one day trip. So besides a second pair of clothes, an umbrella, phone charger and basic toiletries, I have nothing else to take. I just hope I can carry it, and don't need to check it.

If you have it and can pack and measure it then fine. If you're thinking of buying it then it's a gamble, albeit one where you can gauge the risk quite well. Squashing it up to meet the size limits is quite acceptable.

At some airports you are allowed to take a bag of airport shopping ('duty free') in addition to the standard allowance - e.g. at Stansted.
As a general point, I wouldn't push it when it comes to the second smaller cabin bag. It's really intended to cover handbags, laptop bags, small day bags and the like.

Update, I flew on Ryanair recently and it went very smoothly. On my return leg, the FA came over to me and told me just put my backpack under the seat. For me it was convenient to have a backpack instead of a regular carryon. Some people had both, and people easily carried duty free on board, and the staff didn't say anything.

Only thing I'd advise with Ryan Air.... Buy an assigned seat in advance. It gives you priority boarding and pretty much guarantees a space for your bag in the overhead bins.
