Hello,
The setting "create categories for vendors" can create and update categories when the vendor is updated.
It handle the fields : name, description and published.
The image is not part of the synchronized elements in the current version of HikaMarket ; but it can be something we can improve in a future release.
For your "root category" issue, you have to handle the setting "Change vendor root category" :
