Since I'm a complete beginner, would it be okay for me to learn the handgun basics on a .22 such as basic handling, loading, reloading, cocking, aiming, stance, shooting technique, and so forth, and get comfortable and build some muscle memory before eventually moving on to shooting with a 9 mm and purchasing one for personal use?

Due to cost, yes.
Just don't develop any bad habits (loose grip, for instance) .....

Yesterday I found myself wincing and squinting horribly and did a lot of wincing even with the 9 mm just due to its power,

Some PT for the hands and arms might be in order..... 9mm is pretty light as far as recoil goes.
