you wouldn't use alternate picking to play the g sharp (6 on the d string) and b (7 on the e string) because these notes are shown to be played simultaneously. as previously recommended, if you are finger picking, simply use your thumb for the g sharp and use another finger for the b. however, if you are using a pick as i asuume, what i would do, and what is often called "chicken picking," is play the g sharp with the pick and use your middle finger to strike the e at the same time. it is somewhat awkward at first, but if you get used to it, its a very applicable technique that ranges from bluegrass to metal.
as far as the telecaster question goes...all i can say is that one of the greatest pieces of advice out there is "never buy a new car" and the same applies to guitars. if you want a good tele in the $3-400 range you are going to have to go used. i've not been looking around the market recently, so i'm not sure where the prices are at, but G&L makes hellacious strat and tele knockoffs, and if you could find one used for your range i'd say get it while you can. the problem is that they don't go up on the used market often. besides that, a japanese or mexi-caster can be just as good as an american if you are patient and wait to find a quality production from fender's international factories. always play before you buy...make sure it feels right and never impulse buy with instruments. i'll do some searching around and see if i can come up with any other advice
