The Suunto Movestick Mini is usually cheaper than the garmin but otherwise that speed sensor should be ideal.

The sensor looks suspiciously like the decathlon one which is only £17

TR have a list of supported kit, some ANT+ sticks won't work with iOS devices for example. Start at http://www.trainerroad.com/getting-started or ask on their help centre.

That ANT+ USB looks good and that speed/cadence sensor should be fine as well. You actually don't need the cycling computer in order to use TrainerRoad, but it would of course make a nice addition to your outdoor rides. Check out this article for more info on minimum hardware as well as some recommended devices:

A mat for the floor too in case you miss the bucket.
