Because of the color of the light it is hard to see the real color of the roots and foliage, but they look like they are doing good. Looks like lots of good root growth. Although I would try for a little lower pH, about 6.0.

My real question is when will she flower/fruit? I've read around here a bit and most say they just begin to when they can, but I was wondering if I was getting close to that time.

A lot will depend on the variety, and if the plant has been conditioned first, kept in cold storage before planting. Also from what I understand most strawberry variety don't fruit the first year when started from
seeds, rather than from bare root plants or plugs that were started from the runners of the mother plant, then placed in cold storage before planting.
Here are two articles written by Dr. Lynette Morgan. Ph.D on growing hydroponic strawberry's.

Going to transplant that tomorrow but am wondering if I should just soil it so it doesn't out-grow my box.

Unless it's a small bush or dwarf variety, it will get much bigger than the box you have. You can always cut and trim it back, but if the box is all the space you have inside for it, I would just stick it outside.
