Yes, there are plenty of free sprite libraries to be found online with a little googling. Be forewarned: most of them look pretty awful.
I suggest getting comfortable with atrocious-looking art. You can always swap in better art later when you find it, find someone to do it for you, or find the time to improve it yourself.
"paint.net" is a free program which beats the pants off of mspaint. mspaint has no interface for modifying the alpha channel, which will prove critical for many graphical effects.
