Are they better or worse than people who call down with ace high?

u hate people that give you the best possible odds to draw out? u might want to rethink that.

I was getting odds for my str8 and overcards

Do you fold getting 9:1 on the turn?

Probably. 9:1 is not very good considering that this is not a ring game and you probably have less outs than you think you do.

With two overcards and a gutshot, I raise the flop and see what happens from there. Find out where you are at. Min-betting usually is a "blocking bet" or someone betting their draw (essentially both the same thing).

A large re-raise is usually enough to get them out. If they do call your re-raise, you have 10 outs (if you count your overcards) on the river to make possibly the best hand.

HOH2 speaks a lot about this.

Obviously you gotta fold if he comes over the top on the flop.
