Will 9 speed Dura Ace down tube index shifters work with 9 speed Sora? Thanks in advance!

It depends on the age of the shifters,

Relevant quote from that piece:
"all Shimano cassettes and freehubs with the same number of speeds use the same spacing, and index with any system configured for the same number of sprockets"
I think there's an exception to that with 10-speed Tiagra, but that's to do with the cable-pull ratio, not the spacing, so as long as you use a matching derailleur, it's not a problem. And not relevant to 9-speed anyway. This piece has further information about compatibility of different systems and confirms that any Shimano 9-speed rear shifter will work with any Shimano 9-speed rear derailleur:
