That machine is a combo lathe/mill. They are "hobby" level machines, not capable of very good precision or accuracy, but they have their uses in small shops.
At the minimum you will need:
Some kind of toolpost, I would recommend a knockoff of a quick change toolpost from Aloris, they are affordable and will be good enough. This would be a good choice
A drill chuck to go in the tail stock. The taper on the tailstock spindle is probably something like a MT1 or MT2.
Measuring tools will be required to use the machine. A basic assortment would include a pair of calipers, a couple of micrometers (0-1" and 1"-2" range), and a couple of dial indicators.
These are kind of the basics, and you will find you need more tooling as you want to do different jobs.
