Hello and welcome! I'll try to answer your questions based on my personal experiences.
I'm on Balmung, and I'd say there is much roleplay to be had here. However, a lot of people like to make an alt on Balmung and an alt on Gilgamesh to patter around, then decide from there. (The Gilgamesh folks seem nice, too! But it's really just a matter of personal preference.)
As for finding roleplay, the Quicksand (in Ul'dah) seems fairly active a lot of the time for tavern roleplay. There are also public RP events that pop up on the calendar here, so those are good to show up to as well.
From my experience, it's easier to find involved roleplay when you join a LS or FC. I'd recommend browsing the Linkshells here on this site and see if any have a concept you might like to partake in. Many of them have stories that a character can get involved in, and it inherently introduces you OoCly and ICly to a group of RPers who may not hang around taverns as much. (IE: Ones that you would otherwise never ICly meet.) I find they're a great way to meet people, so long as you make the effort to get involved (like showing up to their events or actively using the linkshell, if it happens to be IC.) As with most things, an RP experience is what you make of it.
Hope that helps!
