I have a feeling the won't be a MK9 on switch and instead MK8D will get significant DLC packs. 3m in the first year and maybe 8m life time provided the isn't MK9.

Exactly this. This is the Mariokart for Switch and you'll see DLC announced in the next year. As for sales - the question is really how many Switch units are sold. The Switch launch so far is comparable to the Wii U launch! We all know that zero third party support and terrible marketing killed that one otherwise MK8 would have had twice the sales.

I doubt it. MK8 Deluxe is already MK8 with it's (quite expansive) DLC AND new things to boot. So I don't think there will be any DLC coming for this game and the devs will switch (ha!) to the development of MK9 afterwards

As for the launch of the Switch and the Wii U, they aren't comparable at all. While overall numbers are similar for the first month, the Wii U was already available on the shelves after it's second week while the Switch is very supply constrained, and that's with the Wii U launching during the holiday season which gives a massive boost to sales.
