Hi, is Time Machine the way to best back up my MacBook Air? Does it back up all other users on same Mac. Also need to replace battery on my older Macbook air what should be done before I bring it into Apple Store? Is Best Buy ok to get battery replaced? Thanks

Yes, Time Machine is a very good way to back up your Mac.

Yes, it does back up all of the users accounts on the Mac, unless you specifically exclude them from the backup routine in Time Machine Preferences.
Before you take your MacBook in for a battery replacement, you are advised to make a complete backup of your data. Time Machine would be excellent for that.
Best Buy is probably an okay place to buy a battery, assuming it is a proper replacement. Another retailer of batteries that I recommend is OWC/MacSales. They know their Macs.

Good advice so far.
