Nice bike! That should make a great commuter.
Here are some suggestions of specific products that I use, and on the lower end of the price spectrum, mostly.
Old school rear rack, perfect for 26" wheel MTBs. I just bought one for my wife's bike at a local Sports Authority store. It's an exact copy of the old Blackburn "Mountain Rack" that used to be so popular.

Rack bags that strap to the rack with velcro. I own both of these. One is usually on my bike and the other on my wife's. Decent quality, no complaints.
Large:
TransIt Epic DX Rack Trunk
Small:
TransIt Metro Trunk Bag
Tires: These are heavy, but tough, roll fast on pavement and fine gravel/dirt, and they're cheap, too. You want the 26" x 1.75" size.
Forté Gotham ST Road and Mountain Tires, 700 x 32, 700 x 35, 26 x 1.75
Good luck and have fun.
