As for number of mags, three is usually the minimum, and more make your life easier.

I have heard from many people that smaller calibers put the shooter at a disadvantage. it seems like the smaller caliber would make for less recoil and allow you to get back on target quicker. I know I'm wrong, but I don't know why. Can someone explain it?

Not in IDPA. Now in USPSA/IPSC, "minor" calibers are scored differently than "major". But in IDPA, a 9mm hole and a .45 hole are scored the same. But yes, your logic for USPSA/IPSC is correct, less recoil is deemed an advantage.

Re: Trying out IDPA

Texas Tactical matches are great! You'll enjoy it, and get hooked. The SOs are great, and work with the new shooters.
