I'm not american so I can't give you the best directions here, but Amtgard is like that.

I don't think its a waste to get a decent gear since it will raise the bar a bit, and perhaps inspire people to invest themselves. It will allow you attend proper larps if you can find any as well. But you should make a decision if you want to make a "costume" that is either low/high fantasy or historic. Going fantasy will cost less, you can cut some corners and have some artistic/practical freedom, or if you make something 100% historic then you can also attend fairs if you want to.

As for larp campaigns, unfortunately its always word of mouth that is the best way to find new larps. You should look around a bit on forums and try googling some, and perhaps contact some older larpers (like "what campaigns do you attend?").
If I were american then I would probably start my own high fantasy larp, problem here in my part of europe is that there is a high competition for players.
