Regarding 1: I really like Easwaran's Bhagavad Gita English translation. It includes lengthy, descriptive forwards for each chapter that assume no familiarity with Hindu mythology or Indian culture. Easwaran had a PhD in English literature and was an Indian national who genuinely loved the Gita.

Although it's Hinduism, not Buddhism, the Bhagavad Gita seems particularly relevant.

Why not open up your reading list to some non-Abrahamic religion? Sprinkle in some eastern thought to broaden your perspective, it's a different way of thinking. Some of it is quite accessible to noobs, at least I was able to take it in and that's saying something.

I thought the Gita was amazing (and not at all a tome), I read this translation (with commentary): http://www.amazon.com/Bhagavad-Gita-Eknath-Easwaran/dp/0915132354
