The First Folio was the first Collected Works edition of Shakespeare's plays; it was the work of his fellow actors John Heminges and Henry Condell, and came out in 1623, some seven years after Shakespeare's death. However, many of the plays had been published earlier. A "first edition" of Romeo and Juliet would be dated 1597.
The First Folio sold for £1 (one pound sterling). That was an enormous sum. It was a special limited edition.
Some of Shakespeare's plays had been published individually during his lifetime but in 1623 two of his friends decided to publish a collection of as many of his plays as they could get their hands on. This collection is usually called the First Folio but its real title is "Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies Published according to the True Originall Copies"

Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, often called The First Folio, contained 36 plays.
There are no specific records of which were the first two plays Shakespeare had performed. There is a great deal of speculation. There are records of the first publications, but that is not the same thing.
It's called the First Folio, but it is only his collected plays. It does not include his poetry.
The First Folio was not actually the Collected Works of Shakespeare because it contained only the plays. A modern edition of the Collected Works would also contain the poetry.
