Answer 1

In this case you can translate quedar as "to be":

Yes, I am (remain) satisfied as well.

It could imply that you are still satisfied with the result.

I assumed quede was a typo and should have been quedo. But it could have been the preterite without the accent as well, as Gfreed points out. - Jeremias, Aug 18, 2011

Answer 2

delete-already answered.

Sí must have an accent mark to mean Yes. (también also carries an accent mark)

Yo (I) is the subject of the verb, not "it". In your version the yo would be "me".

Quede is probably quedé, then.

Yes, I remained satisfied also.

The accent marks are important and cannot arbitrarily be omitted.

Answer 3

"Si yo tambien quede satisfecho!"

Even if you are using "yo" for emphasis, you still need the reflexive "me" because the state of being is reflected on yourself: "¡Sí, [yo] también me quedé satisfecho!"
