I never bought cleats to play softball, I just used my normal shoes and they seemed to work fine but I mostly play outfield or first base. If I was playing a more mobile position I might get cleats but doubt it.
Definitely get a softball bat, IIRC the balance points are different and you would be able to hit a lot better with a softball bat because of it.
If you're strictly going to play softball get a softball glove the pocket is bigger and deeper which works better with the bigger softer ball.
In terms of rules
It depends on the league
What I remember is if you hit a home run everyone on the opposing team has to chug a beer. If you strike out everyone on your team has to point at you and laugh while you chug a beer and call you diversive names
If you steal a base, your sent back to the previous base and openly mocked and have to drink a beer.
