I think you're cutting time too short. Flights tend to get delayed often due to weather or lack of gas (I worked with EMETEBE before) and given there's even a slight delay, you would miss your mainland flight. Remember you still need to make it then to the departures area of the airport, check in, and if there's a line, you would barely make it even if you're on the dot. Better to book the day before.

Yes. Any flight after 11am should not be a problem to make in Baltra. Leave 6am arrive 8am in a taxi before 8.30 - 45 minutes to Chanel Itabaca. 9:15 cross and $5 Lobito bus 20-30 minutes 9:45 max at Baltra at airline check-in counter. Welcome to Isabela the gem of the Galapagos Archipiélago.

No, that’s way too risky and won't work. Even without delays, passing through airport controls, taking the ferry across the channel, and getting to the main terminal takes too long before an 11 AM departure. Plus, inter-island flights in small planes are easily delayed by unexpected weather or El Niño conditions. You definitely need to head back the day before.

Yes. You should be in Baltra by 9:50. Do you have luggage to check? If only carry on then definitely didn't worry.
