Welcome to EQ!
Your questions have already been answered so i will just give you some hints.
1) The world of EQ is unforgiving. You always need to be alert. Even in some low level zones there are aggressive high level mobs that wander around (griffons in commonlands for example).
2) EQ has a nice faction system. When you are a troll the guards of human cities will kill you. BUT: If you are THAT troll that was slaying all those nasty orcs around the city... THEN the guards may welcome you.
3) The death penalty is severe. Try to stay alive. Try to make friends, you will need them. Since everybody needs other players from time to time, people tend to be friendly to your requests (with exceptions of course). Especially as a newbie, use the /loc command before you die (you can macro it). That way you will be able to at least find your corpse. If you can't find it, there are 2 classes that can help: Bards and necromancers have a locate corpse ability.
