Indeed, if a dealer turns over an ace at the game’s commencement, s/he then must play another card of the same suit or draw, just as s/he would have done five minutes into the game.

Your end-of-game question is a little trickier.  Basically:  a hand terminates the minute a person lays down his/her last card, even if that card would have subsequent effects if play were to go on.  In other words, even though a ’9′ would normally require the card-passing you refer to, if it is the very last card in my hand and I play it, the hand is over — time for every one else to tally up their penalties, and time for me to gloat.
