Does this work for Ilford hp5 35mm film?

This developer is excellent and specifically designed for Black and White film negative developing (35mm, 120mm, any type of B&W film). Follow the developing speeds per the data timing sheets for specific brands of B&W film (available online from B&H). Keep the lid tightly closed when not in immediate use, and store in a cool dark place and will maintain shelf-life for many months (until the solution turns yellow, then it's not good for development use any longer). Enjoy!

I need help with dilution. It says 1:9. If I used 100 ml developer to 900 ml water would this yield the correct dilution for working solution?

Yes, that would be the correct dilution of 1:9

Does this work for paper also?

I haven't tried it, but you can go for. So try it on something you don't mind not working.

Why is this developer priced almost twice as much as the going rate at other online stores like B&H Photo?

There's no difference. If you find it lower priced at B&H, I would definitely get it there instead.
