Cut and install the glass with Liquid Nails. Hold it in place with masking tape while it cures. Deeper track on the top, shallow on the bottom.

Regarding what size to cut the glass, I believe it's usually 7/16" less than the rough opening, so about 9 & 9/16" in your case.

But cut some cardboard first to that size and make sure. I may remember wrong and you may have a slightly different product.

what is the easiest way to cut the track

Hacksaw, but I would not go out and buy one if you have something else to use. It's not hard to cut.
