If you're an average size adult, you'll want full size. Look for an instrument that at least has a solid top, as the wood will vibrate better and therefore sound better. I suggest a genuine horsehair bow, but economy versions'll do if you're just learning. Most violins come with a bow so you needn't worry about which bow though. The rosin type largely doesn't matter as much as far as I know (at the beginner level at least (just make sure it's violin rosin and not cello, viola or bass rosin)). I also suggest, this isn't necessary, getting a shoulder rest, they make the violin hold much easier. And with violin, proper posture and hold is everything.
As for brands, I'd suggest menzel because my violin is menzel and it sounds beautiful, but it really doesn't matter. At the beginning level everything's chinese-made anyway, so they're probably made under the same roof.
I also bid you good luck in learning! I'm learning myself, it's a tough instrument to master but a fun instrument to learn!
