2. Coinbase, blockchain
Blockchain.info has been having security issues recently. I strongly recommend at least a light desktop/mobile wallet (with keys on your device) over a web wallet.

I would recommend using localbitcoins and find a seller with good reputations and meet up locally. For a online wallet, you can try blockchain.info with two factor authentication. There are still plenty of SPV clients which are safer than blockchain.info if youreview the source code properly.

Try to use localbitcoin, bit stamp, bit-x(check out my signature). I prefer to use electrum(desktop wallet) you don't need to download the data from block chain.

Coinbase if you are in US. Bitstamp or btc-e if you are outside US. Localbitcoins if you want to make p2p transactions.

You can find a lot of places to acquire bitcoin. For instance if you prefer peer to peer exchange using paypal payment, you can head to localbitcoin. Else, you can use exchanges like the one mentioned in my signature. As for the wallet, try to avoid using online wallet which you don't have control of it, in case it shuts down or go bust. Refer to https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

I use blockchains with 2-factor authentication as my wallet, and for acquiring/selling bitcoin I use Bitstamp, they have been the best for me when it comes to getting the money back to FIAT.

Safe place to buy Bitcoins would be Coinbase, Circle & Localbitcoin, depending on where you're located and what Payment instrument you're going to use.
And trustworthy on-line wallet would be blockchain.info for me, I have used it for a long time now without a problem but use it only for a small amount of Bitcoins. Electrum is as easy as an on-line wallet too.

MultiBit isn't an online wallet, per se. The keys (secret data that allows you to spend your coins) is stored on your hard disk, and not on some server somewhere. You should be fine.

Local Bitcoin is a good option to trade your bitcoins for usd... Coinbase and blockchain are good wallets with good reputation i prefer blockchain i feel that is faster
