for a beginer i'd go with a cheap rod and reel you can find most for around 12-15$
jigs i try to stay with the genz grub/worm or jigs from jamin jigs most of mine glo for ether dark or stanted water or fishing at night..
for the holes you can pick up a hand auger for around 25-30$ or a spud sometimes they can be found for under 30$
as for finding out if the ice is safe enough IT NEVER IS SAFE but with a spud or ice chisle you can check the ice as you make your way out onto the ice and find a fishing spot..
