Haha I like "lawnsaver!" Maybe a future reality TV show title.

Anyway, back to it...

The herbicide you posted: Yeah, much better. Did you buy a sprayer too or are you planning on hooking this up to your hose and just going to town? Both should work, though spot spraying - in my experience, at least - is much more effective and better for your lawn. Remember, herbicides are chemicals that kill plants. If you use them at the right levels they won't kill your grass but if you make a mistake and go too hard you'll end up with dead weeds and dead grass. No bueno.
Roundup: Okay, this is a big subject, but I will keep this as brief as I can: there is virtually no evidence suggesting that glyphosate causes cancer. There is a lot of evidence that shows it is less toxic to the human body than things like coffee. The recent court case you probably heard about reveals more about how juries can be swayed on emotional arguments than it does about the toxicity of this chemical, in my opinion. That said, there will be some people who beg to differ; I would look at the facts they present - if they present any at all - very carefully. What I do whenever I use any herbicide is wear PPE (personal protective equipment): long pants, long sleeves, a solid pair of gloves and a solid pair of boots. If I am spraying glypho I'll even wear a mask to appease my lady. But scientifically that is completely unnecessary. If for some reason you decide against using glyphosate there is an alternative, Natria. I have never used it myself but online reviews for it are terrible and it is incredibly expensive compared to generic glypho. It also takes far more time to work.
Soil Test: No, a soil test will not tell you anything about fungus as fungus is something that takes place on the leaves of the grass and the soil test is going to tell you about the chemical makeup of, well, the soil. I am guessing your soil lacks basic nutrients but you are going to fix that in six weeks or so with your starter fertilizer. What I think you REALLY need a soil test for is knowing your pH. Once you know your pH you will know exactly how much lime to put down.
Fungus: Here is a pretty good and very basic guide to lawn disease from Scotts. It won't take you more than five minutes to read through. If after reading it and examining your lawn you are sure you have a fungus issue - and not dead grass due to too much heat or too little water - than you can put down this. It is a Scotts product - and I'm not a big Scotts guy, in general, but this is an effective product - and will be available at any big box store. As mentioned in a previous reply, you will need a spreader of some sort to apply it.
Basic Plan: Yeah, sounds good. Do you know what kind of grass you have? That will help you determine where your mowing height should be, but mowing high - say 4" - this time of year is a good thing, particularly if you are experiencing a lot of heat.
