Thats a halogen flood lamp. Don't use it. My dad uses those in recess lights and track lights. There not overly bright and they are really hot.

That depends on your definition of "cheap" but you can use CFL's if in the proper Kelvin range and if you use an adequate number of them and they can be purchased most anywhere these days.

i use that light for my ball python's cage, raises temps up 10degrees from the ambient air...i wouldn't recommend it.
here is a chart i found online that shows approximate light production
Incandescent("grow bulbs"): 17 lumens/watt
mercury vapor: 45-50 lumens/watt
florescents: 60-70 lumens/watt
metal halide(HID): 90 lumens/watt
High Pressure Sodium(HID): 107 lumens/watt

You can start out with one in the begining stages but you want to add more when you plants get bigger. The more light you have, the more dense the buds

4 is a good starting point but as JR said you will eventually need more, but they are cheap at any store.
