Hi Kikyo,
For the bodysuit, go to Rivers Edge dancewear online (do a Google search). They will definitely have what you need and they're very nice. I think you'd want a black bodysuit with mock turtleneck collar in a nice matte fabric.
As for the boomerang, I'm sure lots of people have ideas about that. SEveral people have made them out of foam with a fabric cover, taht seems to work well and makes it lighter and easier to get past weapons policies.
For the poison mask, may I suggest building it on a face mask form - what I mean is the paper masks that you can buy at Home Depot that are meant to protect you from air particles. They have a little metal band inside to pinch it around your nose and are held on with elastic. You could use that as a base since it's the right shape and build it up with papier mache to keep it light (anyone able to suggest a better material here?) Paint it appropriately and attach ribbon to the sides.
Whatever you do, good luck! I hope to make a Sango myself someday, she's a great character.
