Don't buy anything now. After you've used club equipment for a few weeks, buy a glove and mask. Then next time you wish to shell out the ca$h, get a halfway decent jacket (should last a year or two, so don't get a crappy one.) a bodycord and one electric weapon. And a bag to carry your stuff in.
I came back at 34, after 20 years hiatus.
Depends on how hard you're willing to train, how much time/money to spend, and what results you want to achieve.
You won't get a place on a junior team, I think that's a fairly safe bet

follow what you like. Epee is for old folks, where foil and saber give you a good workout. You can fence epee during the evening when you want to rest, though. Epee is more of a lottery.
The picture that FG photo is not showing speed, BTW, so much as faulty photography. ( It also looks more like a running attack than a fleche, but then, what do I know about either? I fence sabre. )
