9 hours at 1200 watts is 9x1.2 kilowatt-hours or 10.8 kWh, so at 11 cents per kWh that costs 10.8 x 11 cents or $1.19.

It's difficult to answer this question, as microwave ovens do not operate continuously, but in 'bursts'. So, unless you know the duration of each burst, it's not really possible to answer the question.

It is not entirely clear to me what you are asking, however I will answer the question I think you want the answer for. When the electric company technician unplugs the old kilowatt hour meter that will disconnect the electric power from your house of business. When the electric company technician plugs in the new kilowatt hour meter that will reconnect the electric power to your house of business. For his own safety before switching the meters the electric company technician will probably disconnect the electric power from your house of business on the power pole or in the utility transformer box before beginning the work. So, yes you will have no electric power while this work is being done.
