kindergarten curriculum

I think that the things you have planned will definitely be enough. For kindergarten, you do not need to spend a lot of money! There are many free educational resources online and using the library will be wonderful, because it is free too. You might want to use a scope and sequence as a general guide just to make sure you have covered everything. Here are two links for that.

You could also get the book What Your Kindergartener Needs to Know at the library. You could check it out and just read it to your daughter.
I've never bought a boxed curriculum. I've always just put different things together, like you are doing.

Yes, that is okay and quite common in homeschooling. You might want to consider giving your daughter an achievement test to make sure she has mastered a certain grade level. (You can check the homeschooling laws for your state. Some states require testing; others do not.) It is also common for homeschooled students to be at different grade levels for each subject. For example, she might be at a first grade reading level but working on second grade math. Homeschooing offers that flexibility.

That will probably be just fine. You can make a lot of manipulatives from household objects, i.e. butter tubs and beans for doing counting and other math activities. It's fun to use whipping cream or shaving cream for drawing letters and numbers in. Beads can be used for matching and sorting activities.
Knowing your child's learning style before purchasing any curriculum will save tuns of money. Here is a resource for that. http://educatorssite.com/?p=718
