An even cheaper C-Clamp, and likely better because there are fewer things to go wrong with this one. Oh - make sure you get a large one, at least 4". 6" is even better. A three inch clamp might not be large enough for compressing brake pistons.

The torque wrench looks fine.
The Craftsman set - it's definitely NOT the right one to get. For working on that bike you only want metric tools - those are SAE (inchs vs. millimeters). Make sure you get a metric set. I'm also surprised at the lack of wrenches in that one. What you really need out of a combination package like that are the sockets, socket extension, ratchet, and a set of wrenches. Allen wrenches (hex keys) are a plus but the ones in that set don't appear large enough for what you'll run into on your bike (but I didn't look much).
For working on your bike the only sockets you're ever going to need (really) are 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 17mm. Once you realize that, you can narrow down what kind of combination set you need. (Hint: you don't need 60 sockets, but it's an easy way for them to put "more items" into the combo back.)
I have very little experience with bike stands, as I make sure to buy bikes that come with a centerstand. I recommend making sure they fit your bike before buying them.
Edit to ask: what area of the country are you in? If you tell me which Craigslist area to look in, I'll glance at the tools in your local area and see if I can point any out.
