The short answer is yes, and the math makes it clear quickly. InmateAid does not replace the phone system at the jail or prison. Your family member still calls out through the facility's phone service the same way they always have. What InmateAid does is give you a local phone number to receive those calls on. That single change drops the per-call rate from long distance to local, and the difference between those two rates is where the savings

Any of the state SCI facilities in Pennsylvania are serious institutions. It is possible that your son has been in a few fights or so if he's been in the RHU a few times.

The latter could be protective custody, but we do not think that is the case or he would

The RHU is the same thing as the SHU, it's all about solitary confinement. I have been in there three times in federal, you're not gonna get BS from me. I don't know about horror stories, but isolation is no picnic. What are your expectations, for someone to tell you it's great? Inmates get sent to the SHU for a variety of reasons.

It should be an amount that does not interfere with you taking care of your needs first. Inmates will always have enough to eat, so whatever amount you send gets them the little extras like candy, chips among many other things.  The typical spending limit is about $300-340 per month.
