First off, let me welcome you to the forums, and to the world of roleplaying.Â
So far, you've got a very good start, a decent grasp of what you want to get out of the whole experience. Rather then critique you though, let me just jump right down to your question.
It's very much viable to meet people randomly, out and about. We'll assume that the RP community dominates Balmung (which it may or may not), and.. Oh, lets go with 3/5 players you meet up with are RPers. If you handle everything in an IC fashion - That is, you go around posting various emotes about how you're doing this or that.. Mumbling to yourself, doing whatever it is people do when they're alone, then you'll get -tons- of interraction. Other RPers will see you, and will interract with you.
Now, it might just be in passing.. You could be out in the forests of Gridania, yelling at your enemies, and someone might congratulate you on a kill before running off, or offer to help, or ask for directions.. There's a million different options that can happen. Granted, RP won't happen -as- often in the field, just cause a lot of players get a tunnel vision and don't notice other players when they're questing. That's not to say it won't happen, just not as often. Most of your RP will likely start in a city.. Though it can still be random. Random RP is the best! I, personally, dislike preplanning and setting up RP unless it's for an event. Muuuch prefer the random stuff.Â
Long story short.. If you can't find unplanned, random RP, you're not in the game, on Balmung. ^.~
