How long for the 35K miles to show up? I signed up for this and got the card a little while ago, spent about $50 on it and don't see the miles yet. Maybe after I pay the bill?

I believe you are referring to United-Continental. It was reported a few days ago that the AA-US Airways merger is now underway.

AA costs you 25K, I assumed this will be 25K,, just 1 domestic ticket. Not really worth for a family of 3 or 4.

UA is part of Star Alliance, using the rewards through other members tends to get you better prices and flight options according to everyone at flyertalk.
