Are formulas known for non-integer powers of trigonometric functions, analgolous to the power reduction identities? Like if you had a root of sine, could you express it in as a finite summation of sine and cosine functions with different inputs?

That depends on what you understand by different inputs. For instance, defining $phi(x)=arcsinbigl(sqrtsin xbigr)$, $0le xlepi$, we have
$$
sqrtsin x=sin(phi(x)),quad0le xlepi.
$$
If you mean scalar multiples of $x$, then the answer is no: $sin(phi(x))$ is not differentiable at $x=0$ and at $x=pi$, but a finite sum of sines and cosines of scalar multiples of $x$ is infinitely differentiable.
However, $sqrtsin x$ can be written as a Fourier series, like:
$$
sqrtsin x=sum_n=1^infty a_nsin(n,x),quad0le xlepi,
$$
for certain coefficients $a_n$.

No.
The derivative of $sqrtsin x$ goes to infinity at $0$, which is not possible for a finite summation of sinusoids.
The situation is similar with
$$(1+x)^n$$ that has a finite expansion, while $$sqrt1+x$$ not.
