I was told that I should add 1/4 tsp. sugar and 1-2 grains of yeast to each bottle in order to get a carbonated cider out of mine, which was stabilized. Does this sound correct and does it matter what sugar I use(cane, brown, corn)?

If it was stabilized with sorbate, you can add a million things and it won't carbonate. The idea behind sorbating is to stop the yeast from reproducing, and adding more yeast won't make the sorbate disappear.
