1) Is this a double at 3a3a? Is this a double scoreless? In case you come up with different answers, can you explain me why?

Yes. Yes. Same answer so I don't need to explain, awesome.

I haven't rolled it out yet, but according to XGR+, this is not a double for money and a clear double at the score. I wouldn't have doubled this for money, and as a matter of fact I missed the double in my match.

I was actually surprised for it to be a correct double at the score... guess I need to study this score more: I definitely overlooked Black's higher take point.

Suppose White doubles and rolls 6-2. 2) What is the best move at 3a3a? What is the best move scoreless? In case you come up with different answers, can you explain me why?

9/1*. 9/1*. Awesome, I avoid explanation a second time.

I played 24/18 9/7 here, which appers to be an error in any case.

What surprised me was that XRG+ considers the best move at the score to be 8/6 7/1*, which I believe no human would consider, by a small amount.

This move probably wins and loses more gammons, and the fact that gammon lost are killed by a possible recube to 4 by Black, as correctly pointed out by Fabrice, might make this the right play?
