No harm done.

93 is totally fine. Anything less than the recommended 91 octane would be worse. Though even if you had done 89 or 87, modern engines are smart enough to adjust for knocking and pinging. I wouldn't get into a habit of it though as the 200t has turbo and direct injection.

You are posting in the wrong section, but the answer is no. Check the manual, if it uses 87, than stick to 87, and if Premium is recommended, than you would use either 91 or 93. If it doesn't take premium, all you are doing is wasting money, but no harm

My 2020 NX calls for (at least) 91 octane, but I typically use 93 because the 91 is not as readily available.
As long as you use an octane level that's AT LEAST what your vehicle calls for, you'll be okay. In fact, even in an emergency you can use a lower octane, but you'd best fill up with the proper octane ASAP.

I'm in the northeast here in NJ and we have 91 octane. Usually many Sunoco stations offer it, as well as 93 octane.
