Brace height is the distance from the bow's grip to the string at rest - shorter brace heights mean faster arrows but demand better form, while longer ones are more forgiving.

Most adult beginners should start with 15-25 lb draw weight on a recurve or 20-30 lb on a compound bow, so they can build smooth form before adding power.
