You don't need a supplement if you nail your diet. Everything you need to know about diet is in the nutrition stickies. Best place to start

Focus on getting the food clean, lean meat, green veg, drink your water. Steadily get back into it, considering you have been off for so long it might be a good idea to slowly get your body regimented again, and your body doesn't like sudden changes, so nothing drastic. Your body is more concerned about nutrition than calories.

For supplements, fish oil, a decent whey protein and possibly some creatine would help.

Best of luck getting back into it.

As stated above sort your diet out before considering supplements. A lot of people think their diet is healthy when in reality it's not. It might be better than the average person but that's not difficult. Post up a typical day here and we can take a look.

It entirely depends on what we're talking about. Weight loss or gain is about calories. Health is about nutrition.
