As I said, you should go with the Nikon 35mm 1.8 when you do decide to buy a new lens. The reason I suggest it over the 50mm 1.8 is that you can get it in AF-S, where as with the 50, you would have to get the 1.4 version which is near $500.

With the D3100 you have no focus motor in the camera, so all lenses if you want them to auto focus have to have an internal focusing motor.
