new to clarinet, need some help

hello,
I would like to start clarinet(Bb) and I need to start on the right foot, so I thought who better to ask than the clarinet players.

I am almost 11 years old, taller for my age, the question is whether I could start with a standard size clarinet or I should get the smaller size, for children.

2nd question is if you can advise me where to find a decent clarinet on a budget (I would like to spend no more than a couple hundred dollars for it). I won't mind an used one as long as it is good and it will last me a few good years without having to upgrade to another one. How do I recognize a clarinet on the market that will be good for me? If anybody is nice to enough to give me his opinion on some instruments that I might see online please let me know.

I already play violin, piano and bit of recorder, so I'm not new to music. Can you please recommend a good book/manual/method to follow? Good websites and any other kind of resources you might know.

I'm going to locate a local teacher to help me get going, but for now I have to rely on advice that I hope you'll be kind to share with me.
Many thanks in advance guys!
Neo.
