I know Minneapolis is one of Northwest's hubs, and they allow pets. Most of the major airlines allow pets, really, usually with fees and a 1-per-person rule. The carrier must fit under the seat in front of you, just like any other carryon.
Since you've never flown before... you have to be flexible with timing. That crappy 10:30 pm/7 am flight is cheap precisely because nobody on earth wants to leave that late or early. If you want your flights to be at 2 pm, you're going to pay extra for that.
Also, airline tickets are the cheapest about a month and a half before the time of your trip. Much before that, and they're still expensive, much closer than that and a lot of them are more expensive again because they know you need that ticket for whatever reason and are likely to pay more for it.
Unless you want to fly stand-by, but I don't think you can if you have pets.
