6'0 140lbs here, If Jiu Jitsu has taught me one thing it's that my bones are a lot less fragile than I thought they were. Unless you have an actual bone problem or you have broken a lot of bones in the past I wouldn't worry about that too much.
Just relax, pay attention, have fun and show up as much as you can.
A single row, boil and bite mouthguard will do. I use this. You can find them at almost any sporting goods store.
As for gloves, you're probably fine starting out with a pair of everlast or title $30 specials from your local sporting goods store. I would make sure they are at least 12oz and that they have velcro closures (don't get anything that slips on).
For wraps, you pretty much have to order them online, you want 180" or "mexican" style wraps. They're usually pretty cheap, like $5 a pair if you shop around, and the extra length is amazing.
I definitely recommend using hand wraps like [here] (http://www.amazon.com/TITLE-Boxing-Mexican-Style-Single/dp/B00115KZE4/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1425574555&sr=1-3&keywords=mexican-style+boxing+handwrap) I got mine at my boxing gym for $5, so you can definitely find it cheaper than the price listed on Amazon.
If your knuckles are really sensitive, add more wraps on that area! The videos I've seen suggest wrapping 4 times on the knuckles. I usually do like 6, and it's been helping a lot.
As for gloves, I'm still looking for a good pair. At the moment, I have [these] (http://www.amazon.com/TITLE-Classic-Boxing-Gloves-L/dp/B002KEXQWI/ref=sr_1_7?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1425574662&sr=1-7&keywords=title+boxing+classic+gloves) in 12 oz. For reference, I'm 5'2" and 110 lbs. I got them for ~$30 at my gym. I've read some reviews, and the general consensus seems to be that Century and Everest gloves aren't the best quality.
Best of luck!
Try boxing wraps. It's like an ace bandage but they're thicker and provide more support. They have a loop to stick your thumb through on one end which makes it way easier to start the wrap, and Velcro on the other end to keep it secure. It won't be as solid as an actual wrist guard, but it still provides a good amount of support. They're also pretty durable so you can just throw them in the wash with other gear without any real issues.

and use 3-4 cotton balls to protect your knuckles (as your wrapping).
Find a timer on the IOS or android marketplace. Do 2:30 on the bag with 1 min rests for 8 rounds.
Hell of a workout and may help with your issues.
