Would this type of foam be ok to use? Or does it need to be closed-cell?

Search eBay for "Eva Foam"...the first auction sounds like a great deal. The foam you featured may be thick enough to work, but these gym mats are usually your best bet. And depending on what you're trying to build, those 9" x 12" sheets may be too small for something like an armor build (though you can theoretically hot glue sheets together to form larger sheets, I suppose).

I was thinking that, but the shipping is $10 and I have to win the auction.

Could this work? Its 3 mm thicker (9mm) then the usual 6mm. Is Best Step 6mm or is it 9mm? Only reason I am wondering is because I can get it before Christmas which would be amazing,

Best step is 6mm thick. Their online ordering usually tries to say shipping will cost you like $30 a roll, becuase whoever entered the website product data screwed it up. If you call your closest Sears, you can have them order it, then they will pay for shipping. I live literally 3 minutes from one of those small Sears outlet stores, when I call they ship it straight to me for nothing. Makes it totally worth it.
