Everything you described would be business casual, but it depends on the company. For some companies Shirt and tie is business casual, while for some that is formal. Best bet is to wear a dress shirt and slacks.

Yeah, I'd aim to overdo it the first day, and then see what other people are wearing, along with what the company protocols call for
