Answer 1

"The Essential Iron Man" will contain the most material at a relatively low per page cost, and it will give you a good overview of the very beginnings of the Iron Man mythos, including the first major changes in his armor, his earliest foes, the changes in his supporting cast, and so on.

Be aware that the film version features characters who never appeared together at the same time in the comics. Pepper Potts wasn't around for more than a few years, and Obediah Stane didn't turn up until the series had been running for more than twenty years.
