First of all, welcome and I hope you find the game enjoyable I do have a few comments to make on your points.
1) I think you are a bit mistaken at how you progress in this game. You train/learn the stats and skills individually and by your own choosing in such a way that trying to estimate a base level for the whole character is virtually impossible. Thus, it is also difficult to say if a quest is too difficult for you right now or not.
In addition, if it turns out that it is, there is always the possibility to reach out to your fellow gamers and ask/pay for help (at least on the RP server, can't really speak for the other one). It gives the game a more realistic feeling in my opinion, no one can do everything.
Also, with the new quest system in place, you need to have done some rather easy quests first to get to the more difficult as well as some quests require you to have certain skills at a certain level.
2) This game tries to do the opposite of what you portrait here, where the non-RP server are more of the "step child". The RP server is the largest one of the two and most of us welcome new RPers, or even people who don't want to RP as long as they don't make the game less enjoyable for others around them. You are allowed to go afk whenever you need, or express any other non-RP concern. We just ask that you put that "out of character" (OOC) talk in brackets [] if you are talking in the Main chat. And there are plenty of other chat channels where most/all of the talk is OOC.
The reason for making a non-RP server as well is so that you have a choice to be completely free of such rules all the time. That way you can be as OOC as you want, without making the game less enjoyable for those that really wish to immerse themselves into the game world. And no, not everyone can be adults about it. This is the internet, after all.
3) It might come in the future, but right now this game is still developing on so many other important things that personal housing is miles down the list.
4) I hope that you'll also join us at the RP server at some point. As I said, it's more crowded and I also think it will show you that we are not as excluding as you fear
