Hey there welcome to FFXIV!
We'll get right too it.....
#1. Yes, Omega does currently seem to be the place where a decent number of EU RPers are gathering.
#2. And this is speculation since I'm not located on Omega, but it being a newer server and all your best chance to find RP over there is through a Discord channel that's posted somewhere around here. (would suggest contacting Maril Hawker for more info since she's the only EU player I can think of off the top of my head. She'd probably know more about it then I...)
#3. Level requirement, luckily, is not a huge conflict in FFXIV as most of the RP takes place in the starting city-states and surrounding areas. So I wouldn't stress trying to rush the leveling process just in order to RP.
#4. Not sure about finding them in-game,but at the top of the menus you will see two tabs "Free Companies" & "Linkshells." Check those out and see what you can find.
#5. A lot you will pick up by just playing through the MSQ. There is also a lore discussion section here on the forums for more direct questions regarding the lore. You know doubt will come acquainted quickly with a certain beloved user of the community named Sounsy who is the resident lore expert.
