It all comes down to the individual horse. The most popular type of curb bit over the years is the medium shank, low port aluminum.

No, the Tom Thumb bit is not considered the strongest horse bit. A Tom Thumb bit is actually a controversial bit design that can be harsh and confusing to horses due to its jointed mouthpiece and shank. There are other bits designed for strong or difficult horses that may be more suitable options, such as a low port curb bit or a correction bit.
A horse that requires low dietary maintenance is called an Easy Keeper.
Usually the bits that come with the headstall and reins are very 'generic'. Most commonly seen is a simple low port western type with 3" to 4" shanks. If this works best for your horse then you don't need to buy separate bridle and bit. I should point out though that these bits are usually not good quality bits.
There is no ONE particular bit that should be used on every single horse, horses like people are unique and there-fore have different needs. Things you have to think about are, What you want to do, what your horse is like,the shape of his mouth (does he have a low pallate or narrow gap between both teeth), what are you like as a rider, etc etc Some horses will go better in a thick egg but others in a thin Dee ring or a myler. Your instructor or tack shop would probably be better at suggesting a suitable bit for you and your horse. You could also consider a bitless bridle if you find that your horse does not like a bit
You can, if you be careful not to bring your hand too low down to the nose. The nose is not a place where you should pet a horse because they can and will bite you. The best place to pet a horse is on the forehead or neck. If a horse is particularly head-shy (or not willing to let you pet him anywhere on his head), giving him a scratch or rub on the neck is the best way to make friends with a horse.
The bit should sit over the bars of the mouth, the soft tissue area located behind the front teeth that you can readily see. When properly placed, it should appear that the corners of the horse's lips are being slightly lifted - many people use the rule of "one wrinkle" at the corner of the mouth to determine placement. Too low, and the bit will knock against the horse's teeth, which is both uncomfortable for him and ineffective for the rider. Too high, and your horse will be strained, pinched at the corners of his mouth and uncomfortable, and he won't receive your signals well. So you will need to measure across the area where you expect the bit will sit comfortably.Once you've established the correct position, use your marker to mark the edges of your faux-bit where it meets the edge of the horse's lips. Keep an eye out for common clues that your horse might be reacting to a painful bit, rather than just resisting the rider.
