Well, all you need is the rifle, ammo and magazines.
Since you have that covered, accessory-wise a weapon light will be far more useful than an RDS for home defense. At those ranges, you can simply use the front sight itself as a quick aiming point -- I mean, you're talking what, 30-40 feet down a hallway in a ranch style house? -- but you NEED to be able to ID your target.
After that, worry about the RDS and BUIS. For toughness and battery life, I'd recommend the AimPoint over any other. I also prefer Troy BUIS.
As for training, see if the classes you are looking at teach useful stuff, like movement, firing while moving, proper use of cover, transferring from one shoulder to the other, etc.
This may draw some flak, but if you want to get some training that you can do (mostly) without firing, or if you have a privacy fence in your backyard, or another private place to practice, you can practice CQB with an airsoft rifle. Either way, look into some of Gabe Suarez's videos. Yes, they say they are for Kalashnikovs (AKs), but other than the basic handling and manual of arms stuff, the tactics and such can be used with any rifle.
