I believe it is dead as I have to fill both f6 and h5 to make it live.

That's not quite correct (see hyperpape's post).

I believe that if I play b9 it lives.

Correct! :clap:

Also, if white would play b9, you would die outright. Thus, this is quite a big point for both players.

That's exactly right. Finding this balance is a matter of experience and looking at your own games critically. Given that you're posting your game here, the second point should be no problem :).
