Recently i discovered my dads car has some small paint rust in his roof... the question now is, will roof vinyl wrapping prevent the rust from spreading?

Once rust starts, it's like a cancer...it'll spread. Wrapping won't do much to help. You'll need to sand off that rust before it starts spreading.
Crappp ahahaha how bout touchup paint?

Posting a few pics would help. It could simply be rust from rail dust.

Bubble rust, that is not a good thing. That needs proper sand and repaint to remove.

Little stone chip could be the source, anyway that moisture can get under the paint to bare metal.
Well, it will probably be the easiest way. You could try to scuff those areas down, but it has already raised paint. So the best bet is to strip the roof down, and repaint.
Hmmm sounds expensive. Do you know how much would it cost?

2012 mazda 3 gs. An estimate can help big time in planning the budget.

A shop would probably be able to do it around $1000-$1500. They would sand down the trouble areas and spot prime, then repaint the whole roof. That's the only way to stop it.
@Ryekawa -I talked to my friend and showed him your pics. He said "rough estimate $500 to grind down rust to metal and repair, and paint the complete roof."
Let me know if your interested and I'll pass on his info.

Yes I agree the Mazda touch up paint is horrible, barely any paint came out. I have a white Mazda 3 and there are lots of little stone chips that are starting to rust, I'll probably clay bar the rust out and put a wrap on the roof
I had a similar rust situation with my older 2005 Corolla... I sanded it down lightly painted and applied a small piece of paint protection film over top... never got any worse over the course of a few years... if you can seal water from getting in it should slow it down
