Too many issues in one post, and none of them have simple answers.

Personal advice -- if you just got the Jeep, drive it for awhile before throwing money at it because someone else said you "should" or "have to" have 'X' or 'Y'

If you plan on using it on the street, lift first for looks (if that's your thing). If you want to use it like a Jeep, skid plates and tow points first, rock rails second, locker next, then you're ready to think about lifts and bumpers.

BTW -- you're asking about modifications, so you should have posted this in the Modified Tech area, not under OEM.
