A lot of the stuff that was originally cut was restored for the re-releases in 1997, so unless the only time you've watched the original trilogy was on really old videotapes, you've probably seen most of it. The extra scenes with Biggs didn't get put back in, but I think you can find them on YouTube.
And shit yes, I can guide you directly to the best series. Personally, I recommend starting with Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command by Timothy Zahn, although I may be biased because those are the first ones I ever read and I was eleven at the time. (But I've re-read them since, they're still good, honest.) And if you want further recommendations, I know most of the books up until the New Jedi Order series, so I can tell you whether they're good or crap.
