Well since most of my flying career has been spent almost always flying under IFR conditions and most of that in the military, I don't recall ever their being a requirement to fly with VFR charts.

And?
There isn't one. Heck, there isn't even a requirement for IFR charts, nor for VFR charts on VFR flights ((in Part 91 until you get to large aircraft).
There is a requirement, however, that "Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight."

Not if that 135 flight (obviously not an airline) takes you to 7B9.
You did fine. It is good that you are thinking about the situation to better yourself.
I say make the circle whichever way you are hanging that day. I have never even thought about the 'left turn rule' while screaming over the top at 400' in crap wx. Keep the runway in sight, don't hit anything, and don't spin it. Booyah.
As far as disregarding the controller... only do so with a good reason that you can verbalize if needed. When you do ignore their commands you take on alot of responsibility and are ingnoring the advice of one of your greatest resources. Sounds like a non-issue in your story but it may be different next time.
