I was wondering if someone can tell me if my approach to the proof is a correct one. (rather than typing it all out here and making a mess of the notation, I typed it up in latex and did a screencap then put that on imgur, so the following link has the proof)

It's a good proof.

You could have simplified a lot of the notation by working with the subspace topology on ##A## and ##f(A)##. This would have simplified the question to: let ##f:X\rightarrow Y## be surjective, then if ##X## is connected then ##Y## is connected. The proof should then be the same as you gave, but the notation would be easier.
 
Thanks so much! I will incorporate this change
