Was it correct of me to offer a draw?
Sort:
I got a draw in this tournament game. Could I have gone for more, or was I stupid to offer the draw? I think I played the first 8-9 moves well, but then again, I'm not the judge.

15. u could have done knight f7 and forked the rook from him
opps your black, well u need to watch the boardmore carfully, no offence but the guy messed up and didnt use your blunders to his max advantage, and he blunddered so i think in the end u shouldnt have offered a draw, io think u should have taken his rook and start gainning materail from his pawns.but u did an exelilent game
25...Rxc4 was better.
after the exchange of one of your rooks for hist last one you are better.

Hello Quiet one :)
As a general observation I'd say you need to get a bit more attached to your material. While it is true that there are more important factors in chess than material, dropping it without compensation like on your 8th/9th and 10th move can cost you many games.
Actually I think his 11.Nxf7 was much stronger than taking with check, as it wins further material. His 13.Bd5 doesn't look very good, because it gives you these d-file ideas. However, if he hadn't played 15.Nxc8?? but 15.Nf7+, even resigning wouldn't have been out of place.
I like the way you trapped that knight, and in the further course of the game you increased your pressure, obtaining good winning prospects. The hugest chance you missed was on move 20, I believe: Instead of taking the rook, where your opponent still has two pawns for the exchange, 20...Nf3+ should have won a full piece:
Instead, I would have preferred White's two pawns after 20.Nxe2, at least if he hadn't dropped them so willingly. So on move 25 your next winning chance occurred: 25...Rxd4 26.Bxd4 Rxc4 27.Bxa7 Rxa4 28. Bc5 Rc4 29.Ba3 gave you excellent winning chances.
I don't think you have got more than a draw in the final position, so your draw offer was alright.
I would have forced a rook exchange and taken my chances on the end game. But then again I'm bad for not taking a draw when its there and then working myself into a losing situation 
It has happened to me as well.
The immediate answer to your question: in the final position a draw is a very good result for you, so the offer was very smart. IF anyone has any winning chances in the final position it's white.
If I were white I would refuse the draw offer because I believe white can make black sweat a little for the draw by preparing and advancing his queenside majority. Probably a pair of rooks will have to be exchanged though, and the position looks drawn. I'm sure black is the one who has to be more careful though.
