You should be able to get away with pygmy corydoras. However, Guppies, neons, and barbs aren't a good choice to go with a betta. Guppies have large finnage, so the betta is more prone to attack them. Neons are brightly colored, again making them perfect candidates for a fight, and barbs aren't naturally the nicest of fish..

Atleast 3. Believe it or not, corys are schooling fish, and should be in groups.

You didn't mention anything about a filter. Do you have one for your setup? It is necessary.

At the moment I do not have any filtration. What do you reccommend? I know I need to get another 25 watt heater. What else will I need? How much do you think everything plus the fish will cost? I know it is just an estimate I just would like to know before hand.
