Brand New to EQ -- lots of questions!

From what I've seen there is a good amount of players who are on the west coast, europe, or australia. Don't think you will have too much of a problem finding players late at night. If you can get the same grp for 2-3 hours that is pretty good. From my experiences people come in and out of groups quite often. I think where you group plays an important role for time. Some zones are harder to find people and may be harder to bring in new members.

there are three priest classes - druid, shaman, cleric. cleric is obviously the best at healing of the three but shamans and druids get decent healing spells as they level and can fill the healer role in a balanced group.

don't know much about red, but i've read that people are pretty helpful there and grouping is popular because of the added experience bonus.
