I just got an original Ipad Air a few days ago and wanted to attach a USB to transfer files from my computer and expand memory, but from what I understand the USB has to be powered? What USB stick and adapter would you recommend?

You need to consider what type of files you want to transfer. Last time I checked, the only files you could transfer directly between your iPad and a USB device where image files from the Photos app.
With IOS there is no common file system like on a PC or a Mac. Each app has it's own private space for files. You might also want to look at using iTunes on your computer for transferring files via USB.
