Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual.
Read and that's all you need.

There are free adventures on the D&D website.

Check out ebay for an old edition of the Basic D&D game.
The red one with the blonde wizard, spearman and dragon.
Once they get the hang of the game ease them into 3E.

I have a little adventure that I like to use for new players. It can even be used for DM's that have only a single player. It's a take-off on "Little Red Riding Hood". Trust me it's really cool. Its familiar enough territory so that even if someone isn't a big fantasy enthusiast they can still enjoy it and feel comfortable with the setting.

Easiest characters?

Like to play? That's easy, Fighters or Barbarrians.

Wind 'em up, put 'em on the board and let them hack away!

But the three core books, Dungeon Masters' Guide, DMG, Players' Guide, PHB, and last but not least Monster Manual, MM.

You could get the D&D for Dummies book or the D&D 3.5 Starter Set.
