Default Most basic of basics

To help a novice to begin brewing at the most basic level, we have a one
litre carton of apple juice from the supermarket (it doesn't say it has any
sulphite preservative in it) and an empty one litre plastic milk bottle with
a screw lid.

How much of the apple juice to add to the milk carton and topped with water
to what level of the milk container please. Also how much additional
granulated sugar please?

We have to hand some bakers yeast ready for our first attempt, but what
would be a better brewing type yeast to buy please?

Since we dont have any proper plastic air locks yet, what might a 'make do'
air lock be that we could make other than screwing the lid down lightly on a
folded piece of paper towel.

Any other tips on how to improve on such a basic easily made brew much
appreciated. We all had to start somewhere.. right? Thanks.
