/r/hockeyplayers is a great resource for questions as well.
As for the stick, yes height matters. I'm 6'4" and have to have a senior stick with a cut plug (Every composite stick is hollow and has a cap on the top where extensions can be inserted (giggity) to increase the length of the stick to cater to height). Get a senior stick, and as for the brand and model, honestly if it's your first time playing I'd go with a basic model. Bauer, Warrior, CCM, Sherwood, Easton, etc... all have their pros and cons, but it's pretty much personal preference. Bauer is probably the most popular.

www.hockeymonkey.com is also a good resource for equipment.
Tour makes decent quality skates at a reasonable price. Like I said, online is probably going to be your best option for equipment, and you don't have to have the best gear when you're just learning. I started with cheap used gear when I started playing ice hockey and as I got better I got better equipment to cater to my play style. Have fun and good luck!!
