1) Warrior is among the worst soloing classes in the game without some major twinkage (Fungi/CoF etc). Paladins are actually decent soloers. Not as good as a "real" solo class like a necro, mage, shaman, druid or enchanter, but definitely viable. Heals, buffs, and the ability to pull things solo with lull shouldn't be underestimated.
2) Both classes have plenty of quests to complete. I'd recommend looking into the Crafted Armor questline if you go warrior and the Armor of Ro questline for paladin. The armor is pretty obsolete in the Velious era, but the quests are fun and it's good to have a goal while leveling that gets you moving around to various zones instead of simply hopping from MM to CoM to KC to Seb like 90% of the server.
