If you're just starting out, definitely hold off on the Temple Stronghold quest thing. It's VERY difficult...wait until you're level 10-12.
OK, area affect spells work well on those hobgoblins, especially cloudkill and fireball. If you picked Nalia up in the CC, use her for that, as I think she comes equipped with Cloudkill. Also, have your priestess and/or Anomen cast a "Hold monsters" spell at them, or a Holy Smite (can't beat that spell). Your strategy will depend greatly on the rest of your NPC makeup.
The CC sewers and the Slaver Ship are the easier quests earlier on in the game...definitely do them first.
Nothing to do with the wolfskin but sell it...good $$$.
I think you have to go to the Graveyard to get the quest from the dead little boy first before Lynis admits to murdering him, but he's a child killer, so good riddance anyway. It shouldn't effect the quest. Once you meet Wellyn in the Graveyard, give him his bear and he'll go to rest in peace. Go back in the daytime and talk to his parents to end the quest.
Hope this helps!
