the 50 1.8 is way better of a lens than the 55-250... Using the 55-250 on a dslr will make your images look like they were taken with a point and shoot.
I have had my 50 1.8 for a year now with zero problems. Yes, it's light weight but big deal... I could not care less that a lens "feels like a toy".

Yep, most point and shoots take shots like these..

No idea what you are talking about really.

To the first question, if you can I would also highly suggest the 18-55 IS, and the 55-250 IS as starter lenses. The 55-250, as you can see from some of my examples, also has a pretty high magnification factor and serves as a decent poor man's macro lens.

Cameras: 7D2, S100
Lenses: 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM, 18-135 STM, 24-70 f/4L IS USM, 50 f/1.4 USM,70-300L IS USM
Other Stuff: 430 EX II, Luma Labs Loop 3, CamRanger
