Answers:
Is the -9!.25Dc for your left eye a typo!? If it is really a -!.25 like your right eye, your prescription isn't that big!.
The biggest thing that helped me learn retinoscopy (and with glasses that were off more than your tiny refractive error) was seeing a lot of patients!. It helped that the patients I saw were cyclopleged, in a dim lit room, and the first patients I practiced on were very cooperative!. A lot of reflexes look different, person to person!. I also found that I like the Welch Allyn retinascope better than the Copeland scope b/c it's easier to maneuver with one hand!. When I started I used loose lenses b/c they were cleaner and there were less reflections to deal with (vs the phoropter)!.
This book is awesome and very helpful:
