I have recently decided to start my sprinting "career" but I am new to it. What dry land workouts, particularly in the weight room, would be good for me to do? What about the number of sets and reps? In addition, what core exercises do you do and how often? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do something similar in the pool with paddles and a parachute.
I would think forearm strength would be very important.
Certainly important but I don't know if i'd say very important. I'm getting enough forearm work in that area with the excercises above and swimming. I can't see any major power being gained in forearms but rather stability of the wrist.
There are some excercise I list above that work stability and forearm strength to some factor (and some I don't list above that I do regularly to treat other problems like rotator cuff and strengthen stabilizers that normally don't see any activity)
