What two worlds does the narrator say that Jack and Ralph depict?
The narrator does say that at all. To quote directly from chapter 3: Huts on the beach... 'They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling, unable to communicate.' Golding is simply using the term as a metaphore to suggest that Jack and Ralph are far apart in terms of their aims and the things which they find important. He is also indicating that they are unable to communicate their different priorties effectively to each other.
Who or what saves Ralph in the end?
Fleeing from Jack and his hunters Ralph stumbled onto the beach, near the shelters, and was confronted by a naval officer. Jack and his hunters also emerged from the jungle a short distance behind Ralph but immediately stopped their pursuit of Ralph on sighting the officer. You might therefore say that the arrival of the officer saved Ralph from Jack and his hunters. However the officer was only there because his ship had sighted the smoke coming from the island. The smoke came from the out of control fire which Jack had lit to try and drive Ralph from his hiding place. So, with typical Golding irony the fire which Jack lit in an effort to kill Ralph proved to be Ralph's salvation.
What does Jack say about the conch in chapter 9?
Jack says that the conch is meaningless on his end of the island. He makes his own rules and does not consider Ralph a leader.
