We have 2 of these window mounted bird feeders and we love them!

It takes a while for the birds to notice them but once they start coming it's amazing. You can enjoy the birds from your sofa.
We use safflower seed that doesn't attract squirrels. The bottom part slides out easily to refill without having to remount the suction cups.
Good luck!
Sibley's is probably the most popular ID guide, and it's the one I use. A popular alternative is the National Geographic guide.
Here is a fairly comprehensive review of 100+ brands of binoculars across many price ranges. It is a few years old now, but I haven't come across any better guides since then.
There are more things that you can buy later, but those two things are enough to get started. The main thing I would recommend would be to find a local group (e.g. Audubon club or other naturalist/birdwatching group) to go on birdwatching trips with. She will learn far more from experienced birders than from a book, especially at the beginning.
This is my feeder. There is another version where you can adjust the weight that it allows to keep grackles and starlings out but that would keep wood peckers out too. There isn't much you can do for house sparrows since they're the same size as the other birds you're trying to attract. Whatever you do, don't put out millet. That's their favorite food and it will attract flocks of them. I don't get too many with just the sunflower seeds. If you're getting flocks now, maybe you could try not putting out food at all for a while so those birds can move on and find a different food source.
Without dropping the big bucks on an SLR and telephoto lens, the "superzoom" point-and-shoot cameras by Nikon, Canon and Panasonic are now quite good. The Sibley guide to western birds will be your best bet.
Also ask over at /r/birding as this sub is not very active.
Move feeder 8-10' away from building and out from under canopy. That tree on the left should supply more than enough traffic to the feeder.
Good luck!

To fill the frame with a song bird from 30' you're going to need a looooong lens. There are P&S cameras with large zoom ratios. https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-FZ70-Digital-Optical-Stabilized/dp/B01MS16V42?th=1
