Your desire to learn more about Islam is very praiseworthy, maashaAllah. May Allah increase you in knowledge. Ameen
Forget about the sects, you don't want to go into those. All you want is to follow the way of the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam and his sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them), without subtracting anything or innovating anything new.
As far as the prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam goes, I don't know if you have a book called ar-Raheeq al- Makhtoom, which is a biography of the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam. Personally, I really like Muhammad: Man and Prophet, by Adil Salaahi.
As to the sahaabah (May Allah be pleased with them), I'm hoping other forum members might be able to give you some pointers, as well as more learning resources on the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam and his family.
Sorry it's not of much help.
