I am a micro stakes player for the most part. However I find that whenever I move up to 200NL, I do drastically better. I almost move back down because I still don't have my bankroll where I want it to be, but things just seem to go much better for me at higher limits. Is it possible that my play is just better suited for it?

Should I worry about winning more at lower limits before moving up?

this would be abnormal if it were over a large sample size. however its probably due to the fact that you are getting better hands at higher stakes/running better and/or thinking at a higher level because the money is more significant to you.

definitely try to play the same way at the micro stakes and dont take shots at higher stakes despite anomalies that occur in your win/loss result

If you can beat 200NL then you can crush micro stakes. The fact you are not crushing micro stakes implies that you cannot beat 200NL.

Also, do not play 200NL if you are not rolled for it (even if you can beat it), you will probably go broke.
