There are a lot of components to firing off a good shot and as a new shooter, it can be tough to keep them all in mind: You need to have good trigger control, you need to focus your eyes on your front sight, you need to have a consistent and firm grip, your stance needs to be consistent and steady, you should time your shots to your respiratory pause to maximize accuracy. All of that is what you need to achieve, and as you get more experienced, you'll see how all of these components work together.
Anticipating recoil can be addressed from two angles, both of which involve focusing your mind on something other than anticipating when the trigger will break the shot: Actively thinking about maintaining front sight focus and actively thinking about trigger control. With practice, you'll be able to do both at the same time.
A good exercise that will address both of these is dry firing. The objective is to practice focusing on your front sight while manipulating the trigger in a manner which does not disturb sight alignment. You'll need an unloaded pistol and a featureless wall. Get a good thumbs forward grip on the pistol and aim at the wall. Make sure to pick an area without markings because you don't want anything to pull your focus away. Focus your eyes on the front sight. The rear sight should be blurry and you should be able to make out lots of detail on your front sight. Now place your finger on the trigger and slowly apply straight rearward force... slowly and steadily increase that pressure until the trigger breaks. Don't think about "pulling" the trigger, just think about increasing pressure. While you're thinking about pressure, keep your eyes focused on your front sight. If it moves, stop putting pressure on the trigger and start from the beginning. Do this until you get 10 good clean trigger breaks in a row.
The next time you go to the range, dry fire a few times before you run any live ammo through your pistol. If you find that you're still anticipating recoil, try the ball and dummy drill: You'll need some snap caps and some live ammo. Have your brother load you up a mag with a random distribution of snap caps and live ammo. Shoot at your target and treat it as a dry fire drill. If you manage to keep the pistol still even on snap caps, congratulations! If not, stop the drill, do 10 perfect dry fire reps, and run the ball and dummy again.
I know it's a lot to take in, but trust me that all of this will make sense and get easier the more you do it. It's not a bad idea to keep a personal training log and plan the drills you will run ahead of time. Just be honest with yourself and you will improve.
Taking an introductory gun safety/technique course like the NRA First Steps Pistol course would definitely be a huge help to you. Look for one in your area.
Answers to your questions:
I'd recommend getting some spare magazines. Will make range sessions a lot more productive if you're not constantly stopping to reload your empty magazines.
Downside is Ruger is pretty proud of their SR series magazines, though you can often find the 2 packs on sale somewhere.
Also, get some good shooting glasses and hearing protection. Something with active hearing like the Howard Leight Impact Sports or something along those lines. It attenuates the noise of gunfire, but allows you to hear range commands and converse with instructors or other people on the range.
And you'll need a good range bag to carry the gun, ears, eyes, magazines, ammo, staple gun (for outdoor ranges that don't have retractable target holders) , gun wipes, UpLula magazine loader - trust me on this one, your thumbs will thank you.
I'd get the range bag first, at the very least, if money's a bit tight after the holiday spendathon. You can fill it with the other goodies later.
I'd recommend a Sig Sauer P320 in 9mm - it's a striker-fired pistol that's easy to shoot in Full, Carry or Compact - but any similar set-up from Glock, S&W or Walther should work for you. Regardless of what you buy, though, I'd recommend a lockbox to store it securely. I prefer a mechanical lock like on this V-Line box - this is the model that I have.
WHAT! I love that smell.
I wouldn't say that out loud to many people you don't trust. They make air fresheners of that smell because people love it so much!!

Aliengear makes a good OWB and IWB holster for the p2022 and its pretty cheap. You can also get a paddle retention holder cheap off of amazon and it works well for occasional carry.
I shoot thousands of rounds every year in several pistol sports. I have this kit in my range bag and I don't bother getting out my tackle box of gun cleaning supplies when I need to clean my handguns. There is space for some cleaning patches inside as well, then just throw whatever solvent/lube or clp you like to use in the bag as well, and you're ready for everything.

Howdy, new /r/HappyBuckmarkOwners member!
Some Buckmark pointers:
If you're feeling adventurous:
I agree with BroTexas. I use an Otis kit to clean my Glocks. The case is very small and has all the tools I need. I ordered mine via Amazon for $33. Otis Professional Pistol Cleaning System
PS: Order extra patches if you get one.
Pick up one of these. Cheap and it makes the 7rd mag awesome. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HB1SYCC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1426956950&sr=8-1&keywords=9mm+shield+grip+extension&dpPl=1&dpID=41Hkm19OFPL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SX200_QL40
I have a lot of ear plugs, these are my favorite for shooting: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V2SS9G
I wear them under a cheap pair of noise cancelling headphones when I can: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001T7QJ9O
Like others have said, something like this little tool kit. I've used this type of tool once, though it was on a larger bolt I snapped off in my dirt bike. Worked like a charm. No doubt you can find ultra small versions, but you'll need to mount your slide in a vice in order to work on it.
I'd personally highly recommend earmuffs with a NRR of 30 (instead of 22), especially for indoor shooting. The low profile stuff doesn't matter nearly so much until you've got a rifle.

Dovetail mount for red dot. You can buy a shitty one for less than $20 and try it out in two days..

The TLR 3 is under $80 and it is a quality light.

What you have is fine.
I personally use CLP for cleaning and lubrication. I put a very thin layer of Tetra grease on the rails.
One thing I would invest in is a boresnake. They make cleaning the barrel easy as hell.
