To determine draw length, draw an arrow back and mark it at the point in which it is even with the front of the bow.
This is your draw length. (you can go to any archery shop and they should have a lightweight bow set up for this )
The only drawback to getting a new traditional bow is that after practice, you'll aquire the ability to shoot a greater drawweight.
I would suggest that you look into a USED Recurve from an archery proshop as your first bow.
If you can't find a good selection from a local dealer try this place for new and used traditional bows:

I have a short drawlenght, and the Kodiack Magnum fits archers with shorter drawlenghts.
I shoot a draw weight of 50 lbs and that is plenty for killing game.
Make sure to try a shooting glove, shooting finger tab, and an armguard to keep your sleeve from contacting the string.
The Quiver is up to you, they very in styles, I prefer either a hip quiver like ones used by 3d target shooters,
In rugged country, a back quiver, I'm in the process of fashioning my own out of one of these hip quivers and a red fox that I shot a few years ago. it will make an interesting backquiver when I'm finished
Arrows:
You can use wood, aluminum, or carbon out of a recurve.
(NEVER USE WOOD ARROWS OUT OF A COMPOUND!) You'll break an arrowshaft off about a quarter or half way back on release and
DRIVE THE SHAFT THRU YOUR BOWHAND!
I use specially modified wood arrows made for me by George and Margaret
that have a small screw in adapter so I can use either fieldpoints or broadheads.

Broadheads:
I use The Magnus II 2-blade #MA100 with both my recurve and compound bows.
