Yes, I think that is the highest you would need. In fact even 200 would be fine for up to medium sizes.

In software we set ppi (pixels per inch) and 300ppi is ideal. There is no point in going higher as our eyes can't resolve any more.
dpi (dots per inch) refers to how many dots of ink a printer lays down. The term is often used incorrectly, even sometimes in places where people should know better.

But it's not 300x300 - that is an absolute figure and would result in an image 1 inch square
Set the rsolution (per inch) to 300 and the dimensions to whatever your paper size.
Once you have filled in the three parameters, check that they are all correct before pressing OK, because sometimes they are relative to each other and you may have to turn that off.

I don't know what Fast stone is but i can tell you in my Serif Photoplus 'canvas size' is the setting to allow a border round the 'image size' intended.
Setting dpi will affect print size on placement. so a 3000 wide image set at 300 will print at 3000 divided by 300 ie 10 inches wide. No idea why we still use inches having gone metric in the 1970's. 250 is routinely used in the printing industry and 200 can work well for very large prints. Printing will of course show up inadequacies in an image much more than a screen and will tend to print darker due to the subtractive process used on dye or pigment on white rather than light RGB on your screen.

I Use all the Serif PC Programs. WebPlus PhotoPlus, PagePlus, DrawPlus and my son (for the movie makers amongst you) uses MoviePlus. They all work in a similar fashion and all get upgraded every two years with the best features passing across the range. (Their new Affinity range do draw and photo for Macs)
You can try out a simple version of Photoplus (SE) for free, not time limited here link
The full program is specced and explained here. They are a UK firm based in Nottingham, I've used them for the last 15 years. link Once you have their software they have regular offers, upgrades, a big community forum like this one and cheap upgrades.

No idea, i thought Lightroom was a workflow program popular as it has simpler photo editing than Photoshop. Others on here can advise.

Serif PhotoPlus and Lightroom is like comparing Apples with potatoes.
One is a Photo Editor the other is a is a Photo processor and image organizer.
Lightroom isn't hard, it's quite simple to learn the necessary development basics really - but like any new software you have to know how to use it. If you understand your camera and what you need to know to shoot photos, then Lightroom should not be a difficult program to understand.
Luckily there are many Lightroom tutorials on YouTube.

Lightroom is quite a wide ranging 'workflow system' but you can opt to utilise just certain 'modules' of it.
I load in just the photos I want to develop, and then move over to the Develop Module, create as necessary and then export.
There are other sections on photo books, and maps etc but I don't personally use them.
A quick google shows this for example:

Have you tried Picasa? link
Free and very easy to use. Not the most powerful tool for heavy processing but much improved in the last couple of years and great for minor adjustments and very user friendly - especially for printing.
Although I use Lightroom for most of my processing - any printing I do is always using Picasa
