compared to later type 90% silver? If so, what's the premium on Barber 90%?

My experiences say not really unless it is nice enough to put in a spot and sell, and even then only an extra $1 or so.
No, not if it's average circulated or thereabouts. It gets lumped in with other bullion-based coinage.

Pay more, no, sell it for more, yes.

I usually don't unless a full VG+ (and that's halves) or better dates.
I've found some Barber coins in dealer junk silver bins. A few halves and quarters. Dimes seem to be more plentiful in these bins. So unless the coins are fine or a better date I'd expect the answer would be no.
Most barbers on the bullion scene are discounted because they are so heavily worn. They are almost always well underweight. If you have nice full rim coins you should not be selling them as bullion in my humble opinion!
