You can buy 4' bamboo stakes but it will just keep on growin. If you cut it back, a new shoot will come out an continue growing up. The roots you see on the bottom pitcher on the tree, it's at the top of that tree.

No, its NOT best for her particular Philodendron. Its fine for Epipremnum aureum like you have pictures, but hers looks like a White Wizard, which is a climbing plant, not a draping plant.
It depends on how esthetically pleasing you want it. You can take a 1 x 6 or 1 x 8 fence plank, cover it on coir fiber mat (the stuff you line hanging baskets with) and let it attach to that.

You can make a larger diameter totem with a large diameter PVC pipe covered in coir mat.

Or you can get something cool like a large piece of driftwood and let it attach to that. Eventually, you will have to cut the top and root the cutting to make a new plant because you will run out of room with whatever you use

This is one of mine, on said large diameter totem
