Yes, a good instructor can notice ALL your mistakes over a webcam. I was suprised+shocked how well this works.
I am only doing this for a few months, and once we did a live session as well. [he lives/works @ Budapest whole I am located 90 km away, so online works best, but occasionally we can meet in person]
As for the guitar itself: my only advice is that you should avoid the cheapest stuff, and go for a good acoustic guitar in the 400-600 USD price range. You can buy a used one as well of course to save money, but don't pick a bad instrument, it will just take your motivation away. And the most important: go for one which is designed for metal strings, but use nylon strings in the first few months, until your fingertips are not getting used to playing a guitar. Metal strings will make your fingertips hurt after way shorter time, so you will feel pain shortly after you are warmed up and ready to improve your skills. Once the fingertips on your left hand have solid skin, you can go for the better sounding / louder metal strings. ;) But touching boobs will never be the same for your left hand
