The 2 x Barlow and the Moon filter are a good call. The Barlow will give you 5mm and 12.5mm on your existing eyepieces respectively virtually doubling them Be aware it will also make the view dimmer but it will let you know what eyepieces you may at a later stage decide to buy. Take advice from the experts here ( not me ).
The Moon filter is gold, otherwsie you will have a lightshocked eyefull real quick, it is one bright ball of light. If you have a front lens cap for your scope you may find it has a smaller hole with another cap on it. This can also be used to limit the amount of light coming in to the scope from the moon. If you haven't got a cap you can make a cardboard mask with a smaller hole in it. I made one for my 10', The small hole was only about 50mm diameter. Black(ened) cardboard is better.
Coloured filters, I'd leave them for a while. They are of limited value TBH unless you get serious on planetary viewing. You may find you need Light Pollution and/or nebula type filters to be more useful. Again, take advice from the experts on that here.
For now I'd just get out there and explore and enjoy. Do a bit of research first ( Stellarium helps ) and go hunting. Take some notes and then ask questions.
