fix(material-experimental): unit tests getting wrong root element and add API for getting property value

Based on the discussion in #16697 (comment), these changes fix a couple of things that I ran into while doing the `mat-autocomplete` test harness in #16620.

* Fixes querying for elements outside the harness not working, because the wrong root node was set.
* Adds an API to retrieve the value of a property on a DOM node.
