Welcome to EVE!
So... please bear with me. Before I answer your questions directly., I want to go over a few concepts that will help you here in EVE.
- EVE is an "open ended" game. By this I mean, there are no true sets of goals or "end content" the way you will find in other contemporary games.
Here, you have to set your own goals and decide what YOU personally want to aim for.
- Operating "solo" is possible, but it will truly shine if you find and group together with other players like yourself (in terms of mentality, not age or chosen profession).
I know it is scary to interact with other players at first... but know that as long as you keep asking questions, have a willingness to learn and be proactive, earn people's trust, and take failure in stride... you will find that MANY players here are extremely friendly.
And yes... this applies even the ones who actively hunt you down and blow you up (hint: sometimes, PvP players can be the friendliest and most informative people you can find... if you are nice to them).
- Bigger and more expensive ships are not the end-all-be-all point of the game. Every ship is good at something, bad at others. Don't take ship size and equipment TOO SERIOUSLY. And laugh at those that do.
I say this because there are countless examples of frigate swarms dismantling larger, VASTLY more expensive ships in under a minute.
- PvE content will be boring... but that isn't the point. Everything in EVE is an exercise in competition against others. THAT is where you will get most of your thrills; competing and avoiding/fighting other players.
And no... mechanically there is no way to 100% avoid PvP in EVE. Not even in high-sec.
But with knowledge and experience, you can stack the odds in your favor and learn to effectively avoid it.
Okay... so all that said...

It sounds like you were doing a mission and picked up a mission item.
Go back to the station where you picked up the mission and double click the agent again. You should have the option to complete there.
Failing that, you can always make a petition using the F12 menu and a GM can "reset" the mission.
Note: If you do not know where the mission station is, look to the upper left of your screen while out in space. You should see something alluding to a mission up there. Fiddle with it until you find the station you need to go to.
And when in doubt, right-click things to pull up "option / action" menus.

If you park in a station, there should be a toolbar on the left hand-side of the screen.
One of the icons on it should pop up a description saying "market."
You can then peruse the market window and the item trees to find ships and items you need.
BEAR IN MIND... items you buy from the market are "station specific."
By this I mean; some items are only for sale in certain stations. If you buy an item from a station you are not in, you will have to go to said station to retrieve it.
You can see where an item is located by clicking the specific item in the market window. To buy things from the station of your choice, right click the item and select buy.
Also bear in mind that all ships in the game has specific purposes. Your current ship may be ugly... but it may also be the best suited for what you wish to do.
How did you Veterans start?
