The radical (dots 345) is a unique Nemeth braille symbol. I see no problem enclosing it, as well as the superscripted numeral 2, in cancellation indicators. Because the cancelled step is preceded by the original problem, the reader should have no trouble differentiating the termination indicator of the radical from the two closing cancellation indicators, but you could offer an explanation in a transcriber's note to clarify. See attached.

Omission rules are covered in Rule X of the Nemeth Code. Section 57 states that a question mark with a dash beneath it is to be transcribed as a general omission symbol (dots 123456). The answer to your punctuation question can be found in Rule VI, Sec.37.iv. In your example, it is clear that the context is mathematical, therefore a punctuation indicator is required before the ending period.
