There are a lot of things you'll need to bring in addition to what you have mentioned. Just keep in mind WEIGHT. You don't want a bag that's weighing you down.
First of all, do you have a suitable first aid kit? You'll need something should an accident occur. Also, along those lines, a multi-tool is essential. To add to this catagory- do you have a map and compass and do you know how to navigate with it? This is critical.
Secondly, what do you plan to bring for food? And water? Most rivers you cannot drink from anymore and you'll need a purifier or something to boil all your water (which is a pain).
I find that Katadyn water purifiers get the job done and tend to be reletively cheap. Also, you'll need to find a burner, just as a MRS or JetBoil. The MRS tend to be cheaper but require more set-up. In addition, you'll need some food- and I have first hand experience with MaryJane's Farms, and I love their food.
Regarding clothing- no jeans are not okay. ANYTHING with cotton in it should not be worn and you'll regret it if you do. Cotton soaks up water like nobody's buisness and doesn't let your body breathe in heat. I would suggest going to your local sporting/camping store and checking out their Gore-Tex or the like. You'll be a much happier camper. Check out hiking shoes while you are at it.
This pretty much answers the questions you posed- but it by no means sums up what you should bring with you. I would look into reading some backpacking books before you head out. You won't be sorry.
And, as a last note, a great way to buy bargain is to search your local classifieds or Craigslist for used items. Most items people post are in decent condition and are a fraction of the cost. You should be able to find a burner no problem on CL. Also, check your local library for the reading material you'll want to look over.
And lastly- have a great time backpacking and enjoying nature! I hope the information I provided will help you on your travels.
I have put some links below for some ideas.
