I am trying to figure out how to put 2 parent/child entities into the
mutationPool, inside a MapReduce job.
Here is my issue : in my understanding, as the mutationPool is asynchronous
, I cannot expect to get the parent entity key back from the
mutationPool.put() method.

Or can I ?
According to you, would the following code work or not ?

[Š]
//Creation of the parent entity
Entity parent = new Entity("ParentClass");
parent.setProperty("fieldA", valueA);
mutationPool.put(parent);

//Creation of the child entity
Entity child = new Entity("ChildClass", parent.getKey()); //Q: Can I expect
that the key is returned directly after the mutationPool.put() method ?
child.setProperty("fieldX", valueX);
mutationPool.put(child);

You can't. Empty properties are the equivalent of unindexed properties.
You'll need to iterate over all the Entities in your datastore and update
them. The Mapper API is a very good tool for this:
