Estus summed up the healers pretty well. I thinking is also important to note that the pace of EQ gameplay is significantly slower than that of other modern mmos. As a cleric, you will cast your buffs every half hour or so depending on duration and spend the rest of your time sitting except to drop a heal as needed. If your group is wildly efficient, you may have mana to do other things (such as stun, root or if hunting undead nuke) as well, but managing your mana pool is critical. If you want to be main healer though, cleric is without question the class you should play.
I am not sure what things look like during your proposed play times unfortunately. I am fast asleep at that time ^^
I do not play on red, but red population lives at around 1/4 of blue's at prime time and EQ never had any sort of faction penalties or xp loss for PK. However, if you attack a player in town, and are seen by townsfolk, they will defend that player provided they are not KOS to the townsfolk.
