About the wheels, Is there a major problem if they are not true? (Can I fix them myself?)
54cm should be about right. But hard to say for sure based on your proportions, preferences and the manufacturer definition of 54.

Truing wheels is not very difficult. Give them a spin. If there's a slight wobble side to side relative to the brake pads, probably an easy fix.
If there's an up and down "flat spot" from hitting a pothole, that can often require rim replacement.
