Hey there.
I'd be glad to help you.
First of all, let me try to itemize everything to avoid clutter:
1. Diet - given your height/weight and goals, I will be giving you this:

2. Vitamins - I would suggest taking the vitamins I illustrated previously. They will not hurt you, even in high concentrations. You would need to take obscene amounts of vitamins to have negative effects. As far as glucosamine, I would advise trying Universal Animal Flex which is a good joint support product with virtually everything you need in it, including glucosamine.
3. Workout - Given your current plan, I'd like you to move over to 5x5 training in order to build maximum strength.

After approximately 4-8 months of 5x5, you should have a good enough platform for which to move onto hypertrophy.
Furthermore, you don't need to actually do 1RM discovery of curls and other minor exercises. However, you can estimate your 1RM based on the rep weight you do.
Thank you. Considering how long I've been without lifting, I assume I don't really need to try to avoid hitting a plateau in that short a period of time.
I like the look of the diet, and I'll start tomorrow morning with that. I may need to visit the grocery store :P.
With the 5x5 plan, do you mean I should follow those muscle groups as well? Thank you.
I'm debating about taking some "before" pictures as motivation to keep in shape. Idk though. We'll see ^.^
