No recording equipment, but I'll pick up a mic for the Tascam.
When I say "beats", it's not so much for keeping time but for creating simple beats (kick, snare, kick snare) so that the track won't be just vocals and piano.
As far as going DAWless, it's both tech limitations and tech-savviness limitations. She's only got a Chrome and we won't be buying a new laptop just for this, and I know her well enough, too, that too much complexity, flexibility, and options will be more of a barrier. Paradox of choice and all.

OK I don't have any specific recommendations but it looks like what you are looking for is an entry level digital keyboard, that has either line or instrument output (to go into the Tascam) that has some drum pattern options ....
And then it looks like you will also be looking for some headphones an analog a vocal mic (possibly condenser) and a mic stand.
