To my best knowledge propenylbenzene is also named methylstyrene, is methylstyrene (mixture of 3- and 4- isomer) the correct reagent to be used for the synthesis of Phenylpropanolamine?

Methylstyrene doesn't come in any 3- or 4-isomers.
beta-Methylstyrene is the same thing as Propenylbenzene, and this in turn comes in cis- and trans-form, any which is good for PPA synthesis.
alpha-Methylstyrene is another thing altogether, and cannot be used.

This is directly copied from a merck catalogue, is it correct to asume this reagent is of no use for the synthesis of PPA ?

That would seem to be a correct assumption.
