The two whole numbers on either side of 9.06 are 9 (smaller than 9.06) and 10 (bigger than 9.06). Of the two, 9 is nearer and so that is the answer.
With potential energy, what matters is the difference in potential energy, not the energy in absolute terms. To simplify calculations, the gravitational potential at infinity is arbitrarily set to zero. This gives objects that are nearer than infinity (to any object that attracts them gravitationally), a negative potential energy.With potential energy, what matters is the difference in potential energy, not the energy in absolute terms.

It is nearer to 10 because you would round up 5 to 10 to the nearest ten
