I'm not sure what's up with the speckles. Little green balls is normal though.
Keep them humid for a while, and make sure the soil is moist. Not saturated, but not dry.

The white specks could be just the pores on the skin of the cacti.

little white speckles are normal if they appear to be UNDER the skin.

Somewhere in the 2-4 week range is good.

the theory behind grafting is simple... all cacti have a core in the centre that nutrients/water travel through, so long as u get those rings aligned nutrient will pass from the stock to the scion. they dont have to be the same species.
