Weight: 185 lbs
Height: 6'5"
Bench: 265 lbs
Squat: Haven't maxed out in squat since I tore my ACL & Meniscus
Deadlift: School doesn't do it anymore because too many people couldn't do it right and were injuring their backs, which is fine with me because I never liked the lift anyway.

Pre-torn ACL Squat (Parallel right? not Box squat?): like 305
Pre-torn ACL Power Clean: 205

EDIT: Added height...

While I was at the gym my friend said that I should only bench what I can bench with free-weights. For example if I want to bench 145 lbs (50 lb weights + 45 lb bar) I should see if I can bench 50 pounds free-weights first.

Or is this only because with benching your stronger arm will compensate for your weaker whereas in free-weight benching your weaker arm has to do the same?

bench press is a free weight exercise unless your using the bench press machine ;/ so im not sure what you really mean.

barbell bench is easier since both your arms trying to push one weight and the bar itself stabilizes the weight for you. If you can dumbell bench 150( 2x75 dumbells) then your barbell should be higher than dumbell, probably around 170.

There's no real point to that. If you're just starting out you don't want to push yourself too much on the first day, but you don't need to lift dumbells to get a sense of what you can bb bench. Just pick a light weight and see how it feels. If it's hard, start lower. If it's really light, add more weight. If it feels like you're working a bit, it's probably a good weight to start with.

Or is this only because with benching your stronger arm will compensate for your weaker whereas in free-weight benching your weaker arm has to do the same?

That's part of it. Using dumbells also requires more stabilization. If your bb bench is 145 your db max is probably about 110-120. (two 55s or two 60s)

Pretty weak ATM. When I'm doing heavy lifting I do 12/10/8 of 140 or 150, and when I'm just trying to tone or being lazy ill just do a ton of 110/120. Max is 200 which I can do a whole total of 1.

The first time I could do around 90lbs. When I suddenly stopped going to the gym about a week later, I could do around 120 with a spotter.

I need to get back into shape...

When I first started working out in October I maxed at 105 lbs, I haven't maxed since then but I currently do 3 sets of 10 reps with 95 lbs. I can't do squats because of an ankle injury, and deadlifts aren't a part of my school's soccer program.

I'm around 5'6" or 5'7" and weigh 125 lbs.
