It doesn't really look like fin rot.

I would take him out of the .5 gallon! You cannot keep a fish in there, even as a temporary solution.

Don't use AQ salt, it actually doesn't really help with fin rot. Just do daily 100% water changes for at least a week. Keep his water warm so add the heater as soon as you get it.

Your food concerns me. You should never feed your betta freeze dried foods or flakes since they lead to bloating and constipation. You should only feed them pellets that are low in fillers. The forum recommends Omega One Betta Buffet Pellets or New Life Spectrum Betta Formula, Small Fish Formula or All Purpose Formula.
