Will American General homeowner insurance cover damage to your septic tank?
In order for a homeowners policy to cover a situation, the damage must be from a covered cause. I cannot think of any situation where a covered cause could damage a septic tank. Septic tanks and drain fields are usually damaged by tree and vegatation roots, pressure due to vehicles running over them, and lack of maintenance. None of these are covered causes.
How do you clean a pipe with roots in it without scraping the roots out vacuuming it out or snaking it out?
Put Copper Sulfate in the drain. It will kill the roots and they will eventually break off and go down the drain. This isn't an immediate fix.

Is there a product that can dissolve the roots in a septic system without having to remove the roots in the tank?
There is no product that can remove roots from a septic system and pipeing. The only option to remove them is excavation and new pipes and tank. You may be able to control them with Root-X which is a product that foams on contact with water and kills the roots 1 branch back from contact with the chemical foam. The roots contacted will die and decay, this is a once a year treatment as the tree will grow new roots. Root-X may help your situation.

What is the problem when your commodes are flushing but the waste is getting stuck in the pipes?
Most likely there is a problem with the main drain. Tree roots can get into small cracks and plug the line, it can collapse or break. If it breaks, the ends can shift so that the opening is too small to drain properly. First thing is to have the drains cleaned with an auger. If the line cannot be cleared to the main sewer line or septic tank, measuring how far you get will let you know about where the problem is and the possible cause. If it is tree roots, where is the blockage in relationship to any trees.
Tree roots may grow into drain pipes what is this called?
