Does the sunlight hits almost straight on near the equator?
More Than "almost." the sun hits right on the equator. In fact, if you have a flagpole on the equator, there will be no shadow at noon. But the equator is not the only place where this happens. This happens Up to the tropics (tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn).
In September is the sun ever directly overhead at 90 degree angle at noon?
Sure. At the time the sun reaches the Autumnal Equinox, around September 22 or 23 each year, when the sun crosses the equator, then wherever on the equator it happens to be noon at that moment, the sun is directly overhead there. Also, don't forget about the 22 or 23 September days before that, when the sun is slightly north of the equator, plus the 7 or 8 September days after that, when the sun is slightly south of the equator. There are bunches of places within those latitudes that will have noon-sun overhead, once during the month.
The sun is most directly overhead near the what?
Equator
Why there is no difference in weather near the equator?

What is it called when the sun is directly above the equator?
This happens twice a year at on of the "equinox" (the spring equinox or the fall equinox) At noon if you are on the equator at thet oment the Sun is at the "Zenith".

When neither the northern nor southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun the noon sun's vertical rays are felt at?
the equator
Where does the noon sun fall during both equinoxes?
During the equinoxes, when the Sun is at its highest, it will be at a distance from the zenith which is the same as your geographical latitude, but in the opposite direction. For example, if you live 50 degrees north of the equator, the Sun will be 50 degrees south of the zenith at noon.
Where the sun isalmost directly overhead at noon all year?
Nowhere. The closest place is on the equator.
The sun is most directly overhead near the?
