You can either bottle or barrel the beer when it is finished and the equipment you need for either is slightly different. There are a lot of starter kits that just come with a bunch of plastic bottles that you probably wouldn't re-use, and they're not a bad shout for a first crack at homebrewing.
Here's an example of a full starter kit including plastic bottles, which even comes with a beer kit as well.
Most of the things in that kit are essential or a good idea.
The brewing sugar is to suplement the kit. Beer is made from malt extract, which is essentially a kind of sugar, and it's the sugar that becomes alcohol.
The cheaper kits anticipate you'll add additional sugar. You won't need that with a wherry kit, as there are two tins of malt extract in the pack and it's enough to make 30-some pints of good beer. (Some people do add a little extra malt extract - google 'Wherry Tweak' - but it's not needed).
The brewing drops are also sugar - but they're to give the stuff some fizz in the bottle. (Plenty of CO2 is generated during fermentation, but the beer will be flat when you've left it to ferment for long enough to bottle.)

Brilliant price for a two can kit, cheapest I've ever had it before is £18, as already said, it is a good brew also.

what else would I need to buy to brew this beer? I am considering buying this but I have never done this before so I would like to know if anyone has any idea of how much more i will need to spend to make the 40 pints?

Id say invest couple of days/hours in youtube research, search for tutorials that cover basics, or maybe get a book if you prefer

Brewing bin, syphon, big saucepan to contain around 10 litres, bottles, sterilising solution... I think you can buy kits that contain all the necessary items...
