Re: language of choice
Google uses diff. languages for it's diff. services. Not sure about the search, but it looks like C/C++(maybe). But the main language used by them is Python for sure.

Yes, it's true. Google uses mostly Python language.

Re: language of choice
The Core of the Android OS (it is a modified Linux kernel) is written in C, 3rd party libraries are being written in C++, Core Libraries are written in Java (which run on Dalvik Virtual Machine), and off course, all the application development with user interface is done in Java. You can create your own Android applications.

Re: language of choice
^^Google doesn't use Go, and Google themselves said that they will prefer C++ rather than Go.

Re: language of choice
I suggest learn both. Then try both language for a reasonable amount of time.
You would automatically start to prefer one over another.
It's just the matter of taste.

Re: language of choice
I would suggest to learn Java and Python.
As Java will give you job security more than any language can give, and Python will/can give you "wisdom" of programming.

Re: language of choice
Both the languages have their own pros and cons, but knowing C++ first will allow you to pick up Java very quickly. If you are interested in web application development, java is much more useful. As far as job security is concerned, you should go for Java.

As you have just started with Java, I would rather suggest NOT to go for IDE this early. Try to code in a pure text editor (like Notepad on Windows or Vim on Linux). At most go for a syntax highlighting editor such as Notepad++ or GEdit.
Once you are comfortable with these, then probably after more 3-4 months, you shall go for IDE.
IMO, Eclipse is THE best IDE for Java as of now.
