Welcome to the hobby and this great game!
As for beginner painting resources, I highly recommend Mike Meeple's "Painting Poorly" series:
https://mikemeeple.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_16.html
He does a great job of breaking down the steps and his guides are very easy to follow. As an added bonus, he focuses on painting using less expensive materials and showing that you can get quality results without needing to spend a ton of money on paints, brushes, etc.
As for "best starting paint set" - there are a lot of different answers depending on the specific of your situation. For example, what colors do you plan on using? Do you already have brushes, or do you need brushes? Some paint sets include brushes (although they usually aren't very high quality).
When I first started, I was gifted this set from The Army Painter:
https://www.amazon.com/Miniature-Painting-Bonus-Wargamer-Regiment/dp/B01MTXRUUT
I've been very happy with it. But I've used maybe half of the paints in the set, so that's probably overkill.
It really depends on your goals, and how much you're comfortable spending. You can certainly make a ton of progress without nearly as much investment as that set.
The biggest beginner mistake I would caution against is not thinning your paints. If you use paints straight from the pot, it will be very thick and you'll end up obscuring a lot of the finer details on your models. So thin your paints (I just use water, but there are specialty thinning mediums that some people like to use). And take your time! Try to enjoy the process. Not everyone enjoys painting their models, but I find that it's a great way to relax at the end of the day. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to make your models look perfect. Take a slow, and as you practice you'll become more confident and you'll be able to paint more models more quickly.
Disclaimer - I am by no means an "expert" painter. But hopefully my comment is helpful.
Side note - I recommend joining the "A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Wargamers" Discord server. There are a lot of really helpful people on there who are great at answering rules questions, giving painting tips, and discussing game tactics.
Total you're looking at probably 100$. You can get started for less than 70 bucks depending on taxes.
There's a similar set for free folk that retails for 80 but I'm sure you can find those onsale too. If you really want to play starks or lannisters that's a little more tricky cuz you'd have to find a friend to split it with but I saw amazon had the starter set fluctuate between 100s-110s. (Currently 113)
These starter sets will get you to 30 for the small game
And a lot of packs are under 25 on amazon right now like the Bolton flayed men that can be played in any army, or any number of faction specific units to get to 40 for the medium game.
lol meanwhile on amazon.com.au I get bargains like the Bolton flayed men for $236..
Also only apparently there's only 8 starter sets left on amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/A-Song-Of-Ice-Fire/dp/B07BZZJKZK?keywords=song+ice+fire+cmon&qid=1540354172&sr=8-1&ref=sr_1_1.
