Hey there and welcome! I'll try to answer your questions.
1) Where are some of the main "roleplay" hubs?
Ul'dah is the largest hub. You can find RP just about everywhere though, it's picked up in Limsa, there is a push to do more in Gridania and the Shroud as well. Wandering the world there is a reasonable chance to see people RPing just about anywhere.
2) FASHION IS IMPORTANT. How can I get more. . . cute clothes? My character is female (see: my avatar).
Level up, the higher level you are, the greater access to gear you have. Playing other classes also unlocks some new clothes too. Some clothes you can just buy off the market board at any level, but those tend to be a little pricey.
3) What is the "general view" on players who aren't guilded in a roleplay guild? In GW2 it practically became mandatory with the server system. Should I be already looking for a guild or can I lurk around and go from there?
There are quite a few RPers who are in FC that do not RP. I don't think anyone will care if you are in an RP FC or not.
4) How common are "character blogs"? It became a big trend on GW2 (and a bit on WoW).
- Are they a thing, here?
- Are they respected?
- Are there specific tags used to track community things?
Some people do them, some don't, check out the Town Square part of the forums, that might be what you are looking for.
