No. The only power cage would be the smith machine. The only reason why I'm going to this gym is because it's super cheap ($10/mo). There are other gyms in the area, but they're 5-6x more expensive.

I'm more concerned about form and tipping over with the squat than anything else. I've never done anything close to a typical barbell squat.

Just do a barbell squat. Keep your progressions slow and as always keep your emphasis on maintaining proper form and not letting any ego get in your way. Just do slow progressions (5lbs or so) once a week if you feel you can't go up every single work out. There's really no reason you should "need' a spotter until you get to much heavier weights.
