May I sub the white balsamic for regular balsamic vinegar? If so, would it affect the amount?

You can use regular balsamic instead of white, but I'd use a third or so less.

Is the photo a strawberry mojito? Also, is the glass filled with cracked ice?

Thanks for bringing to my attention. This recipe and photo have multiple issues. I'll fix by end of this week - 20/May/22.
