New Opportunity on Home Page Visual Force

I have a piece of code that shows the user all of the opportunities assigned to them. See the apex and visualforce below. The two things I can't figure out is how to give the user the ability to filter all of the columns. Additionally i'm curious if i could have a button "New Opportunity" that would launch them to the new opportunity screen. 

Apex: 
public with sharing class Pagination_min {
    Public Integer noOfRecords{get; set;}
    Public Integer size{get;set;}
    public ApexPages.StandardSetController setCon {
        get{
            if(setCon == null){
                size = 500;
                string OwnersId =  userinfo.getUserId() ;
                string Rectypeid =   '01240000000Uexl';
                string Rectypeid2 = '01240000000cnJS';
                string queryString = 'Select Name, StageName,FED__c,Broker__c,Broker_Name__c,Core_Product__c,LeadSource,Number_Quoted__c,CreatedDate FROM Opportunity Where OwnerId = :OwnersId AND IsClosed = False AND (RecordTypeId = :Rectypeid OR RecordTypeId= :RecTypeId2) order by FED__c';
                setCon = new ApexPages.StandardSetController(Database.getQueryLocator(queryString));
                setCon.setPageSize(size);
                noOfRecords = setCon.getResultSize();
            }
            return setCon;
        }set;
    }
     
    Public List<Opportunity> getOpps(){
        List<Opportunity> oppList = new List<Opportunity>();
        for(Opportunity o : (List<Opportunity>)setCon.getRecords())
            oppList.add(o);
        return oppList;
    }
     
    public pageReference refresh() {
        setCon = null;
        getOpps();
        setCon.setPageNumber(1);
        return null; 
    }
}

yes, you can filter tables, visit this link for reference:
http://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_filter_table.asp
Adapt it to use with apex:pageBlockTable (when searching for the id, use the nomenclature for apex components)

And you can add a simple html button that redirects you to the edit page of a new opportunity. Just hit "new" in the opps tab and copy the link where it redirects you (in my case: "(domain).my.salesforce.com/006/e?retURL=%2F006%2Fo") and put it in the "onclick" event for the button ( onClick="window.open((domain).my.salesforce.com/006/e?retURL=%2F006%2Fo); )

That would be the easiest way
