Answer 1

Mongoose was once a proud brand, but is now one of the junk labels of Pacific Bikes.  

If you are really going to commute, buy a good bike.  As a newbie, it's best to buy from a good local bicycle shop, where you can get a lot of advice and support.

Answer 2

would you rule out a road bike?  they're much faster than cruiser/hybrid bikes.    If you are interested in speed, road for sure, if you have a flat commute with not many hills, try singlespeed bikes.  You can get a tank of a singlespeed from surly for around $600.  If you do want a cruiser or something where you'd sit more upright than crouched on a roadbike, I'd keep looking there are a lot of options check bike forums and see what people think of different bikes they've tried.
