Answer

Zanichelli or Garzanti are most useful in italy
for me you could buy a english-italian/italian-english dictionary and to understand the meaning of a single word in italian you find online a lot of italian dictionary

Answer

Of course "Zanichelli - Il Ragazzini" with full CD-Rom. You can easily find it in any online bookstore, it seems that it's in tons of peer-to-peer/sharing/appz websites if you want to try before you buy!
It is very complete, but has the pronunciation only for english words...

Here an online dictionary absolutely free and with full phoneme  and many pronunciation for the words included:

Answer

I would suggest you a "your mother tongue - italian" dictionary so that you can easily understand all the little differences in the meanings of the words.

Answer

This is a difficult question because you did not say nothing about your level in Italian language. 
In my opinion an Italian dictionary could be a wrong choice for beginners, as it gives too much information for any single word. 
I suggest you to get a English-Italian dictionary.

my 2 cents
