the thing to look for is function towards a goal; most of these go to ii V (albeit implicating a I that isn't explicit in every example here).

E7M G° G#m7 C#7(9)
ends in ii - V to F#. the dim chord is a secondary dominant to G#, "vii of ii" if F# is indeed the goal.

E7M G° G#m7 B7(9)
E: I7, vii/iii, iii7, V7

A7M G7M F#m7 B7(9)
E: IV7, bIII7, ii7, V7

A7M A#m7(b5)
typically a m7b5 works as a ii chord in jazz progressions; here borne out by the D#7, implying G# as a goal.

D#7(b9) E7M G°
from A^7: bII7, iiø7, V7, VI7, vii.
