Here is my way to do this as cheaply as I'd feel comfortable doing (note, not as cheaply as possible).
I'd put a new switch in the new office and use cat5 cable to connect to the existing switch. I'd install the new switch in a wall mount rack, and install a wall mount patch panel in the rack. I'd terminate all stations in the new office to the patch panel. The inter-office connection should be terminated to this new panel, and the other side terminated to a panel there or surface mount jack if no panel available. The number one piece of advice for a novice is do not run the cables directly to the switches or computers. Cables should be terminated to a jack or patch panel.
If you don't have tools already I highly recommend you splurge a little here. I know it seems stupid "I'm only going to use it once!!". Trust me, buying decent tools can cut your install time in half or more. This $50 kit is what you need. It's extremely important to get and use the cable stripper (SureStrip in that kit). If you knick the inner cable while stripping the outer jacket on Cat5 you pretty much have to start all over. You don't really need an impact tool, that kit comes with a non-impact tool. If you have a few extra $$ go ahead and get one for about $20.
For a switch, maybe Dell. We've used them in non critical areas in our enterprise, and they work fine and reliably. You mentioned PoE - unfortunately PoE switches are nearly 2x the cost of non PoE. With your tight budget, I suggest using PoE injectors. Here is a 4 port for $60 and a one port for $24

Otherwise you're into the 200+ range.
I personally do not like that crimper. I have used the blue one (they are our shitty throw around tools at work), and I personally much prefer the orange one. I like the ratchet action better.
