In a Hindu temple, one should always pray to lord Ganesha first.
The sentence speaks for itself - worshipping an ganesha idol is worship of an idol, because the statue itself is the object of veneration. However, worship of the god Ganesha through use of a statue or 'idol' of Ganesha need not be seen as idol worship. Many Christians pray before statues of saints and even of Jesus, but would never consider this to be idol worship.
People pray with just about anybody. Many times people will pray in their place of worship with other worshipers. Also people pray at home with friends and family (think saying a prayer before a meal). And many times people pray by themselves.
Ganesha is regarded as the most wise (buddhimaan) which is why we pray to him first. This comes from the Shivpuran. Ganesha and Kartik, both sons of Lord Shiva were put to the test; who can go around the world fastest ? Kartik went around the world and Ganesha encircled his parents, stating they were his world. Lord Shiva was impressed and blessed Ganesha so that he would be worshipped first by all.
