Welcome, you will catch more perch (pan fish) jigging with a short rod and small jigs (1/32 to 1/8 oz) then you will on tip-ups.  Perch prefer bait to be moving whether it be a minnow, or grub (mousse, spikes or wax worms).

Welcome.  Do you have a flasher or any electronics yet? If not they are a huge help.

Pete has some good points, get some sort of ice cleat, the cheap ones work fine until you decide you like the ice because you really don't to fall, it hurts. A spud bar is also a good idea to check the ice. I normally drill a hole close to shore to check ice thickness. Just use common sense and always check the ice before you go on it.

New to the site but not ice fishing. I recommend trying a few times and if you like it then drop some money in it. I use 2 cameras and a vexilar and both will increase you fish count.
