A nice fast 50mm should be in any tog’s bag (jmo) but, it wont help your focus problems.  I wouldn’t invest more at this point.  It’s more important to learn the equipment you have first.  Read your camera’s manual.  Look up focus.  Learn and practice how to select your focal point, and how to set your focus, then practice how to lock your focus and  recompose.  Learn what all the auto focus settings can do for you as well.  I’d also google how to find your lens “sweet spot” (The widest aperture that can achieve the maximum sharpness) It’s never at the widest aperture and usually a stop or two away.  (Not that good sharp focus cant be achieved wide open, but it takes more effort). This test can be done with or without a tripod, but a tripod helps.
