Re: tying the porch roof into the main house... I'll add I'd also go with 5/8 CDX ply for the roof sheathing. That added 1/8 goes a long way to resist uplift , and as you know wind in your area is a BIG issue.
Place a column in the anchor on one end of the decking, plumb, and secure properly. You may need to brace the column while you continue. On this building a porch roof project, a beam is placed against the ledger board and fastened to the top of the end column.
