Answer 1

if you're out of it for a while, and going to go back, unsure, and do some moguls, I'd stick with something on the shorter side, under 200cm, maybe like a 170cm ski.  easier to turn and manuever.  Salomon makes some good stuff.  As for ice, just keep it well tuned with a sharp edge.

Answer 2

The boots should fit TIGHT around your foot and ankle, the best fitting boot regardless of weight is what you need.  You will get used to them in a short time.  As to the best ski for bumps, try several different skiis at a demo days.  Since you last went skiing, the boards have gotten shorter and are now much wider.  Skiis are now about chin to nose height, and the tune of a pair will change how they ski.
