theres a thread for sit n gos. the beginners circle is for low stakes cash games

to answer your question, be careful with KQ and KJ in EP, and UTG they are standard folds. thats assuming you have a healthy chip stack and the blinds are small

I found with those turbos the blinds go up so fast that it is really mostly luck with starting hands. Best to be aggressive and raise hands like those once the blinds are up (after the first 3 rounds, which in those stakes is about 9 minutes, meaning you have probably seen about 15 hands at most).

Those SNG's don't dictate normal play - normally like AFchung said those are folding hands, especially in EP.

Those are not really considered SC's - you can't connect much with them Just two possible straights.
SC's like 67, 89 - I would pretty much avoid. You have to be pretty deep to play them profitably, and you want a couple of limpers in front of you, so they're an easy fold utg, and I never pretty much never play them in turbo sng's.
What hands you can open raise with depend on your stack and the blinds. The point at which you can play QK UTG in a Sn'G is the point where you have to push all-in with it IMO.
