The rule is that the expiry date can never be more than 10 years in the future.
If your expiry date is 9.5 years in the future and you transfer the domain, then the domain should get extended by one year. As this would exceed the 10 years the domain will get extended for only half a year.

It look like eNom doesn't support that. So you have two choices, wait or transfer to an other registrar.

Absolutely correct.

NOT correct. Domain will be transferred, but not renewed at all (not half a year, not even one day :) ).

The renewal up to the 10 years was the registry rule at least around two years ago. This was valid for Verisign and Afilias registries.
I never heard that they changed this rule. Not sure if that's even an ICANN rule (too long ago when I implemented the registry connections).
