It really depends on what your goals are. Since you are just starting out I recommend starting with 3 sets for 8-10 reps. Always try to get 10 reps. If you get more than 10 reps add a little more weight. If you get less than 8 reps drop the weight a little. When you're just starting out you will find your abilities fluctuate day to day and week by week because you body is trying to adjust to the new stimulus. Never limit yourself to a specific set of numbers. So if one day you finish your third set and you still feel good then go a head and do another set.

This. I remember when I first started out I was getting very bad DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). It may take up to a month for your body to adjust. Your nutrition will take charge of the cutting and bulking. Take my advise and learn your nutrition- it is much more important then the lifting. I believe I wasted, or rather could have made more use of, my first year training because of bad nutrition. Until you get the hang of it, eat 4-5 big meals a day. Eating allot incorrectly is definitely better then not eating enough ! Good luck.

don't overthink it. as long as you're between 6-12 reps, and they are reps with proper form, you will see results, as long as your nutrition is in order. don't overthink weight training, don't UNDERthink nutrition. keep reading the sticky's in the workout and nutrition section and you will know more than 90% of the people at the gym.
