2. How is the player economy as I am still on the initial trial I am locked from the market board (what i presume to be the player market). Once I do get in to it will I find that I will need thousands and thousands of gill for basic purchases or millions for semi good items?
1. RMT spam is one of the bigger issues the community is dealing with right now. As others have said, /busy works as a stopgap but it comes with a lot of downsides. Another thing you can do is try to come to a very populated server like Balmung, which has far less spam by virtue of it being so hard to get a character on it.
Unfortunately there's not a whole lot you can do. You can also go into your chat settings and remove the chime from it, but, well... Yeah.

2. The best gear in the game at all levels are drops or (at endgame) earned from tokens from doing content. You don't really need gil at all. That said, a small amount does help to fill in the slots you don't get drops for... shouldn't be too difficult to afford whites, and a supportive FC may have crafters that will give you pieces for free.

Good luck out there.
