Technically "alright" isn't officially a word but it's used differently to "all right" and so Trollheart is functionally wrong.

Using "all right" in this circumstance would insinuate that multiple things are correct, whereas "alright" would indicate that something is okay. Clearly you are using the second meaning so "alright" makes sense.

Neither are words. The correct word is Yes. Yeah is also acceptable. Yep and Yup are both as bad as each other. Not to mention yop.
