Tire rating on tow vehicle
I went from a f250 with an E rated tire to an f150 with a C rated tire. Should I have any worries pulling my fifth wheel, around 9000 pounds? (which also have E rated tires)

Well the fact that your F150 has C rated tires suggest that it isn't a Max/max with a 8,200# GVWR, which would also suggest that you only have a 4,000# rated rear axle. That 5er could easily have 1,800# pin weight.
Why with a 9,000# fiver would you step down to a F150 from a F250, if you haven't pulled your 5er with the TV, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise.
