Is the bottled bacteria worth it? Is it worth the money?

Might need to dose ammonia higher to 2 PPM. Instead of 1 PPM.

Dont do a water change on your big tank. Its a fishless cycle and doesn't need one. Id worry about your 46g for now. Definitely do a water change on that if nitrates arw high. Im guess you can say halfway. It could sit on nitrites for awhile before seeing nitrates
