For that price you could get two of the Amazon Basic floor stands. I have one for my Gibson J-35 and it works well.

I don't know much about that guitar. Generally Yamaha makes very good lower end acoustics. If you see it at the store give it a go and see how it feels! Many people on here advise not going with starter packs, because while you're getting a lot, it's generally lower quality.
Many of the things included in this pack you could get for fairly cheap. I'd advice putting most of your budget toward a guitar you really love and get the accessories after.
For example, when I bought my guitar, I bought the guitar and a soft case, which I think was around $20 and I bought this stand: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Tripod-Guitar-Stand-Security/dp/B018FCZRUW/ref=sr_1_6?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1469461903&sr=1-6&keywords=guitar+stand
I got my strap for $5 (which you probably won't need at the beginning anyway) and I would suggest either getting lessons or starting with the vast amount of Youtube content. JustinGuitar and Marty Swartz are great places to start. Justin Guitar has an entire beginners course, which is what I started on.
Sure... First off, is this the kind of stand you're putting it on?

If so, check the back of the neck, it's likely there too. If so, I recommend you DO NOT cleaning it/rub it/buff it for at least a month. It will allow the lacquer to re-cure. The rubbery material of the stand causes a chemical reaction on the nitro that will need to re harden.
The good news is that there are companies who specialize in LP reissues, they even make them more historically accurate. So, if it's that bad, or bothers you, that's always a later option.
