would be nice if the Doctor treated him a little less like dirt though in response.
I can't help thinking that Nine would have recognized what Jack was doing, and have been flattered, and have been kind about it. But maybe I am rationalizing the discrepancy by separating the two incarnations of the Doctor.
this could also explain why he was so taken with the real Captain Jack Harkness. He's still living off the identites of others.
Yes. It's the way Jack operates. Admiration and emulation. He adopted the name and style of Captain Jack Harkness, and some of his moral code, but his live and his goals are much more in line with those of the Doctor: saving the world, helping people, using his unusual knowledge to protect the Earth.
