Yes, your local shop will carry rim tape. I recommend Velox, and it comes in 3 width, so best to take the wheel with you so you get the correct size.

Front and rear skewers are different sizes, and there is variation in rear skewer sizes, but all front ones should be the same size. You probably want to look for one that matches your rear wheel skewer cosmetically. Your shop may have used ones they'll give you or sell cheap.
