I don't understand your question about software. The Adobe Web Bundle should be everything you need (https://www.adobe.com/products... but I would assume you would already know that.
In terms of project management it really depends on if this is outsourced or in house (with staff augmentation). I would suggest MS Project or an online tool like Basecamp (www.basecamphq.com).
If you outsource this, which is best for a quick turn around time, then you need to put together a solid RFP (request for proposal) and get some estimates from local shops. My guess is the estimates should come back around $75k-$100k+ for site design and some basic CMS functionality from a solid small to medium sized firms. The dot come bubble has burst and people don't spend millions on web sites BUT that doesn't mean it's a couple thousand for something quality.
You most likely will have to do some level setting and education at you company which may entail pushing out their launch date or having them step up the budget.
