I just use a normal isa because i dont know enough about stocks and shares to invest but it sounds good if you know what you are doing

You don’t need to know what you are doing unless you wanted to invest in individual shares, which is generally a terrible idea anyway.

Just invest in ETF’s that cover the full S&P 500 which is Americas largest 500 companies. The average yearly increase over the last 100 years is 10.6% per year.

No. Set up a stocks and shares ISA with Hargreaves Lansdown or Vanguard and add as much or little funds as you like. There’s loads of good info on YouTube.
