Welcome to FFXIV, The RPC and to Roleplaying!
As for your questions, I have some answers!
#1. Apart from OC moments, is everything you do IC, such as the quests etc?
The only things I ever do ICly is when I'm roleplaying. I have a very awkward sense when it comes to RPing and I have to put my mind into it and basically absorb my character or I can't concentrate and end up losing interest in Roleplay.
#2. Do you pre-plan what your character is going to do and their story or do you just load up the game and away you go?
Very rarely do I pre-plan. I tend to just let the Twelve take the Wheel and just watch, and possibly add my own Destructive sense to things. ;D
#3. How do you role-play doing the same content (dungeons) over and over?
I've never Roleplayed in Dungeons before, I plan to sometime in the future, as for just the same content. You kinda just hope either you or your partner can keep things interesting. xD
#4. Is there any websites etc that I can look at to increase my knowledge of the games lore as to role-play better?
I'm not the best person to ask regarding this. I use the FFXIV Official Forums, Google Occasionally and primarily the RPC. :>
#5. Where is the best place to meet others that role-play?
The single most common spot of RP is in Ul'dah, The Quicksand Inn. Though if you're like me and don't care for overly crowded areas, then you just try and make connections on here in the "Making Connections" Sub-Forum. Or join a primarily dominate Roleplay Free-Company.
I hope these assist you, and I look forward to seeing you around in the world of Eorzea!
