On the equipment front:
Ebay is your friend. A lot. I've picked up about 400 bucks worth of equipment for about 250 dollars. Just make sure you do your homework and ask questions of the sellers.
On the field:
Experienced umpires are your friend (usually.) Glean all you can from the "vets," but don't take everything as law. Well, unless it's rule-related. A lot of umpiring is gleaning from others and finding what works for you when it comes to mechanics and such. Once you start umpiring, you'll never watch a baseball game the same way again. Take note of what you see on the field, what works and what doesn't.
