The Switch comes with the console, dock and (2) joy cons that you can use as (2) mini controllers or connect to grip to make (1) 'full-size' controller. The Switch can be played handheld by connecting the (2) joy cons to it and holding the entire thing while playing or by connecting the joy cons to the Switch wirelessly and using the console's kickstand kind of like a mini TV. You can also connect the dock to your TV and place the Switch inside of it. The normal price for a Switch is $299.

The Switch Lite does not have detachable joy cons and cannot be docked to the TV. Most games can be played on the Switch Lite as far as I know. The normal price for the Switch Lite is $199.

Due to the virus, the Switch has been sold out basically everywhere. The prices you are seeing when you search for it are from scalpers. I have seen Switch Lites in stock and at normal prices lately though.

I (adult) play my Switch almost exclusively while docked to the TV while my niece (11 years old) plays almost exclusively handheld.

It's really your personal preference. If you are wanting a Switch, I'd keep an eye out on Target and Best Buy's website (set an alert maybe?) to see if they get stock at a store near you and put in a Store Pickup order as soon as they come back.
