For a compressor get one with a tank, it assures a good even flow of air.
The one I have is:

The compressor I linked is pretty quiet as well.
For airbrushes I have:

The airbrush has worked great for me and looks very nice, it provides a good flow of paint and is very easy to clean.
For paint I use Vallejo model air, is needs to be thinned down a decent amount. I have also tried Citadel air paint and while it needs a small amount of thinning it worked well. There are lots of other good airbrushes as well, I have been very impressed with Badger's airbrushes, they are a little expensive around $100 but they are very good quality. Make sure you get paint reducer and airbrush cleaner as well, the reducer helps thin down the paint to prevent clogs in the airbrush.
I'd imagine it would. You could use this regulator to get it down to 30psi to airbrush with using this regulator http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00171BFKK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00171BFKK&linkCode=as2&tag=theplacrablo-21&linkId=B2UA7GBYXFXSCCFS
It's one I have attached to my compressor.
Badgers are great and I have a velocity and it's the best I've ever had (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0013NBQLA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0013NBQLA&linkCode=as2&tag=theplacrablo-21&linkId=JBYG4F6UTGNAA6PD), however it might be worth getting a cheaper one to learn with as they get broken easily because the needles and parts are so fine. So maybe pick one up like the iwata neo. That was my second one and the only reason I replace it was because I fucked it up in my ultrasonic cleaner by keeping part of it together.

At the $100 pp I'd rather have a Renegade Velocity, but that comes from a few bad experiences with Iwata nozzles.
I picked up a badger velocity from my local hobby store for $125 - amazon link

I picked up a compressor from the same store for $100 similar to this:

The tank on the compressor is great, I would certainly advise getting one with an air tank otherwise you can get this weird 'pulse' with tank less compressors. The first one I bought didn't have one and I returned it the first day.
My only advice if your going to be picking one up is to either be very careful when dis-asembling and cleaning or buying extra needles/nozzles as I bent my first needle within a few hours of owning it, and stepped on a nozzle which ruined it.
Is this an "all inclusive kit"? Or do you need to buy other stuff?
(Besides the paint)
No, this is more what I was referring to:
http://www.harborfreight.com/1-6-hp-40-psi-oilless-airbrush-compressor-93657.html
It doesn't have any fancy bells or whistles, but it does have a moisture trap and pressure regulator. I have this same one, just with a different brand name on it. Mine is "ifoo"... I got it on Amazon with a garbage Master brush.
Oh, and by the way, this is the airbrush I was talking about:

It's still on sale! I can't speak for its quality yet, as it's still being shipped, but all the reviews I've seen seem solid.
You mean badger airbrushes?
I really like my Renegade Krome it's a very nice hopper type brush, it's a great painter and easy to clean. I don't think you can get the Krome edition anymore, but the Renegade series is pretty awesome in general, and replacement parts are dirt cheap. Most renegade brushes are available for under $100.
Check out this one it's the closest to the krome in terms of options/build
