"Also, what is the best diet for lean muscle?"
Eat healthy, whole foods. Eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight you desire to weigh. Drink 3-4 liters of water a day. Your caloric intake is way too low. If you are looking to gain mass:
( goal weight in lbs + (goal weight in lbs x 15%) ) x 25 calories per day

"And finally, is there a supplement that I should be taking with my workout? "
Most are ineffective or overly expensive. If you must, take 1 or 2 scoops of whey protein. You don't need anything else. Whole milk is supplement of choice.
