What is given in daan for Jupiter?
Chana dal, turmeric, ghee, gold and yellow cloth on a Thursday - and respect for teachers, and the giving of knowledge, which the tradition treats as the real Guru daan.
Is it recited for marriage or children?
Commonly, since Jupiter governs both in the classical scheme. What your own chart says is a separate reading - the marriage yoga tool looks at the 7th house, its lord and the karaka.

A stotram is a longer Sanskrit hymn of praise, not a forty-verse chalisa and not the lamp-song of an aarti. Browse every stotra on the Stotram index. For japa of a short formula use a mantra. The steps of worship around the recitation are in Puja Vidhi.
