Welcome!
In response to your levelling question - there are rules about who can group with whom and still get experience. The wiki has the full set somewhere, but the basic answer = if you stay within a few levels of one another you'll be fine. The allowable difference grows as your level gets higher, so a difference of 5 levels in your 40s is no big deal really, but 5 levels when both are less than 10 is likely not good.
I'd say, level your druid to 4 or 5 or maybe 6, get those new level 4 spells, and wait on him. Truth is, he can exp on newb yard trash from 1-4 in maybe 2 hours, so he'll catch you super quick. There are other quests too to rapidly advance (bard mail delivery is one, particularly if based in Freeport, the Bard mail delivery quest from FP to Nek forest is easy and fast and pretty safe with jsut a little bit of care), but you're best bet = just let him whack yard trash to learn game mechanics for now.
See you in game!
