Will killing a mature wisteria by sawing it down and applying stump killer also kill all the vines coming out from it under my house which have also taken root?
It should. You can also try Round-up on the vines. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/controlling-or-getting-rid-of-wisteria.htm
Where can I buy wisteria vines in McAllen, TX? Went to Lowes and Home Depot but couldn't find them.
If you can't find them at your local big box stores, I would recommend going to some of your local smaller nurseries (such as Valley Garden Center or Waugh's Nursery Center). They should carry them or be able to tell you who in the area does. It may also be a matter of timing. Most places do not carry the same selection of plants year round. They will carry what is popular at that time of year. It is easiest to find wisteria when wisteria is in bloom, because it is on people's minds. If you can't find it locally yet, wait until it blooms in your area and check the stores again.
If all else fails, there are many reputable online sellers who will ship to your home.
I live in Malta. I wish to have wisteria seeds. Can you tell me from where to buy and when it is good to sow?
To be very honest, wisteria from seeds is not a great option. Wisteria grown from seed can take decades to reach the maturity needed to bloom. You are much better off trying to locate a cutting to root or a small division.
I am not sure where locally you would be able to find seeds, cuttings or divisions, but I have had good luck searching sites like eBay or Etsy for small sellers who deal in these kinds of plant product and would be willing to ship to your part of the world.
I have a Wisteria plant that I planted seven years ago and it has not bloomed, so I want to transplant it to another location to get full sun. When is the best time of year to do this? I was planning on doing it dead winter, but it has been an unusual winter for us here in Texas. Please advise.

I've had a wisteria for 12 years and it won't bloom. Can you tell me what to use to promote blooming? Is it ok to use coffee grounds? I read to use organic dressing around the base; if true, can you give me specifics? During summer months, it grows like crazy, so I assume that it is planted in a good spot.
I have only heard that it takes that long if they are grown from seed. You may need to prune your vine in order to coax it to bloom. These vines do not need fertilizer, as they will grow excessively--too much can also inhibit flowering. Check the light it receives, as too little will affect blooming as well.

Recently bought a house that has an established wisteria plant. I noticed at the bottom of the vine and throughout the bush on random branches in vary sizes are hard tumorous growths. The nursery said it was a conk and, yet, any pictures I see doesn't look the same. And if I look at galls, it's the same. Maybe it's just a varing type of conk/gall? The bush is old and looks healthy. Should I be concerned?
The plant could be suffering from crown gall. These articles will help determine if this is the issue: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/wisteria-diseases.htm, https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/how-to-fix-crown-gall.htm
Why doesn't my wisteria vine bloom? I have had it for 4 years and it is a beautiful, healthy vine but it has never bloomed. I have to prune it because the vines grow out everywhere. t is up against our 6 foot wooden fence, which faces the south.
The soil may have too much nitrogen. Try to offset it with some phosphorus, like bone meal, to help promote more lush blooms. This article should also help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/wisteria-blooming-problems.htm
