First, yes that video is fake, some good ol' fashion troll science. In fact, someone on this group is studying that plant right now. The plants do exist, and do respond to touch, but through another mechanism not related to ingesting lots of protein powder and hitting the gym 8 days a week.
I never have an answer for what books to read, but someone else might, and I know the same question has been posed many times, so do some back searches of old threads and just sift through them. A college level cell biology text book is a decent place to start.
For equipment, with careful purchases you could make a decent lab with $1000 but it's important to know what to look for, and then what you are going to use it for. Equipment honestly isn't that expensive I've found, it's reagents and consumables that add up more quickly, and have to be replaced eventually. I'll try to work on a blog post to answer some of your questions because it's one that is asked often.
For starters, try the old DNA extraction from strawberry's or any other thing you have lying around in your fruit or vegetable bowl with salt soap n alcohol. You learn how to lyse a cell, how to salt out DNA, then how to precipitate it.
