I don't know anything about that stuff, but I will say I would wait until your plant is established and you take some successful cuttings before experimenting.

It kind of depends. On average I would say 1.5-2 weeks. Usually they JUST appear after 1.5 weeks and then I let them get a couple inches long before planting in soil.
Recently, however, I started a cutting and it kept growing leaves rather than roots. It sat for about a month before I saw any roots.
But yeah on average 1.5 weeks to see roots, another week or week and a half before planting.
I only root in plain spring water. I take a clear glass, throw some saran wrap tightly over the top, cut a tiny X in the middle, and slide the stem in.

You can inoculate with myco as soon as you see roots, if you're getting a cutting/clone.
That brand you have pictured is alright, but there are better ones out there with higher spore counts and more species for cheaper. I've never used that brand, but it is a standard grow store brand.

could you recommend a brand for me? I am getting a plant that is already rooted but it would be nice to have it in mind for the future when I am able to take cuttings

I try to avoid a myco mix with trichoderma, as I've heard that it outcompetes the myco spores, and will actually eat/compete with myco species.
I've used Bio-Ag Endo-Mix before and liked it. I also use Mike o'Rizey for my veggies.
Great White would probably be fine. It's been a while since I got into the research of which one is better, but I've never used Great White.

It does have fulvic/humic acid in it, so use it as directed.

I have also considered doing this. But I am waiting for new cuttings off my plants before I try anything. I researched about the different mycorrhizae and figured I'd go with the "Great White" brand. Then I want to read all about growing fungi from here and produce my own so I wouldn't need to buy anymore. 
[edit] that's interesting about the trichaderma. I've never heard about that. I'll need to research more, then.

You should look at BioAg's website. They have a line of products for different uses, as well as great resources/info. I have a pdf I downloaded from their website on how to make really good worm compost tea and how to incorporate one of their fulvic/humic acid products in the tea. Link
