Answer 1

Tiles, Grout, Plaster, Wood, Nippers and anything else you need can be found at most Hardware stores like Lowes and Home Depot.  If you're just starting you can find kits and small packages of the various supplies at Michael's Craft Stores.  Other large craft stores like Hobby Lobby, Ben Franklin, etc. should also carry these supplies.

You can find more tiles at flooring stores as well.

You don't need glue for mosiac work, you put the tiles on a thin coat of wet plaster, after that dries, you apply your grout.

Answer 2

Try freecycle.org its a great site.
