well from what I know is that you should be able to squat atleast 1.5x your bw. You can squat much more than that so i would say go for plyos, from what i have heard from people i know who have done them, they have seen great gains in speed and vertical.
well this is what i got out of your question.
Yes you should start out with weights than get into plyos (there are some exceptions).
If you have a plyo/weight program, the plyos should always be done b4 your weight workout, because you want maximum speed, and not be fatigued.
For the weight/plyo or wieght or plyo program. Just do what you feel works best for you. A weight/plyo program may work better for you than just plyos, or vice versa. But maybe since (from what i understood) you are just going to start plyos, i would go for a plyo only program for a bit, then expirement around with it. That’s just personal opinion.
