I'm going to start with battery recommendations, basically the best combination of power and size is a cell called the 18650. It's slightly bigger than an AA, though one of them has the power of about 5 AA cells. They're are a bit fatter, but nowhere near C size. A light that uses one of them is likely your best bet for both EDC and a weapon mount.
For the EDC light, assuming the single-18650 is small enough (tons of people carry them with no issue) I'm going to recommend a Thrunite Neutron 2C. It has as ramping interface, hold the button down and it will gradually increase to the highest level, then back the other way. Let go to choose exactly how much light you want. Additionally, it has shortcuts to the lowest mode (hold down), last used mode (click) and highest mode (double click.) It comes with a battery, and has a built in charger. While it has a strobe, you have to deliberately try to get it, it isn't in the main modes. It's a very commonly recommended first light on here, and I think would serve you quite well.
If that sounds too big, we have a bunch of recommendations for AA-size lights as well. Any of them on this list are awesome.

For a handgun light, I recently picked up an Olight PL-Mini Valkyrie, and it's awesome. It's a great, compact fit on my Carry-length Sig P320, has as built-in battery with magnetic charging that does a pretty consistent 400 lumen for about 80 minutes, has a good beam shape, and intuitive controls.
​
For an AR Mount, we're going to use a bit of your leftover pistol light budget. An Armtek Predator would be a good way to go, it has an optional remote switch. It's a ~1" body tube, so it fits into any mount (theirs isn't the greatest.) Here's a cheap option for that, better are certainly available.
With that light you'll need a couple of batteries and a charger. These will also be compatible with your Neutron 2C. I like getting batteries from Illumn, as Amazon has a not-insignificant danger of getting sketchy counterfeits.

You may find a few other opinions on here, but these will all serve you quite well.
When I got my flashlight for my CQB gun (first gun) I went with a cheapo from Amazon but I made sure to get it with 1 mode because I had a feeling this would happen. This confirms my suspicions.
The latest flashlight I got for a gun is a Nitecore P10 with the RSW2 remote pressure switch. The system is way better on the new light. There is a button on the tailcap that if you hit it you can use the strobe button to adjust the level of brightness, then use the momentary light button to turn it off. Otherwise the momentary button is just that and so is the strobe. My only complaint is that the switch is thicker than the cheap ones you see on amazon so mounting it can be a pain.
But for your flashlight.. It looks almost identical to an Ultrafire WF-501B on Amazon (what I have on the CQB gun). They cost about the same as what you paid but that's pretty cheap. Just make sure to buy one with 1 mode. Also the other problem I found with that particular flashlight is that it does not fit so nicely into most 1" flashlight mounts. This can become a problem if you're looking for something that will offset the light on your gun. I have been able to use one of these with that flashlight body but the aluminum crunching aluminum was not pleasant: https://www.amazon.com/Monstrum-Tactical-Offset-Flashlight-Systems/dp/B01M7O56S1
