How common is actual surgery compared to other forms of treatment for minors regardless? My understanding is that surgery doesn't generally happen until someone is an adult anyways

To the best of my understanding, it's not only not a thing, surgery for trans minors is not something the trans liberation movement advocates for, outside of extreme cases. It fundamentally goes against the gender affirming model, providing affirming care during an emotionally difficult period of one's life until they're old enough to make these decisions. And with trans identity, it takes a lot of thought because our identities our complicated. For example, someone with gender dysphoria doesn't necessarily have bottom dysphoria too. (I count myself in that category.)

The only people I've ever heard of talking about gender affirming care as if it's little Timmy thinking they're a girl and their physician immediately reaches for the buzz saw are bigots like Matt Walsh.

Which indicates to me that, for all the positive coverage Biden gets for being supposedly pro trans, he's not listening to trans people or our allies, he's forming a lot of his understanding of trans people and our bodies by listening to conservative pundits, then spreading that misinformation.

And the founder of Mermaids who bought it for her kid via medical tourism, and now advocates for it on WPATH
