Here are some good airpump + sponge filters:
most sponge filters are just sponge, though there are a couple that also contain ceramic rings or other biomedia.

here's a sponge filter that'll work for tanks up to 5 gallons.

If you do end up with a larger tank, this sponge filter has more filtering capacity. (you can also use this in a smaller tank, but it'll take up a lot of space)

For both filters you'll also need some airtubing, an airpump (other brands are also fine, but I like this one), and a valve(this one is a 10-pac, but you get the idea, here's a single corner version). If you like being extra safe, you can also get a checkvalve, to make sure your tank doesn't accidentally drains.

Get a fish aquarium pump and some hose.

I'm very happy with my sponge filter! Here's my set-up:

You've already gotten some answers but here's a little more info:

  1. Either (or both) is fine, although shrimp might enjoy munching on driftwood as it slowly decays. Any aquarium driftwood is fine like you said. Shrimp do however go nuts for cholla wood. It decays over like 6 months to a year and in the meantime it provides a nice hiding and munching place. For rocks, you probably want something inert (unless you have a gH/kH you need to raise). Granite, quartzite, often sandstone (unless it's cemented with calcite), etc. If you know what to look for it's easy to go digging around in your local riverbanks or hillsides.

  2. In my low tech tanks I have java moss, java fern, anubias, brazilian pennywort, crypts, and bacopa monnieri. I also have pothos and philodendron growing out of my tank (you just take a fresh cutting and stick the end in the water so it'll grow roots in the tank). Water sprite and water wisteria are a couple others that I haven't grown myself but I hear are easy.

  3. My understanding is that shrimp stratum is aimed more for crystal red shrimp in that it gives you a lower pH. I would just double check that it creates conditions that are appropriate for whatever particular shrimps you want to keep.

  4. You can start with a handful and you'll end up with hundreds.

  5. I use a glass lid on my tank just because I don't like having to compensate for evaporation. My larger tank's lid came with a plastic back where you can cut out sections for the filter and cords and such. My smaller tank has a little indent on the corner of the rim so that cables can fit through.

  6. If you're getting a sponge filter, you need to buy the sponge+pump+tubing. Other filters (internal filters, hang-on-backs, etc) are an all-in-one thing. Sponge filters are great for shrimp but you can use other filters too as long as there's no way for bebe shrimp to get sucked up (so like covering the intake with a bit of sponge if needed). If you want a sponge filter, something like A B C will work (haven't used any of these personally so I can't vet for them, just googled it).
