Baldur’s Gate 3 rest guide: when to take a short or long rest
Use a short rest when the party needs recovery between fights but still has enough important resources for the next encounter. Take a long rest when the party needs a fuller reset and the current situation allows you to return to camp safely. Resting is useful, but some events do advance after specific triggers; check what is happening around you before leaving.

You do not have to permanently choose one route at the first fork. A practical order is to settle the Grove conflict, explore the Underdark, then visit the Mountain Pass before advancing deeper into Act 2. The important part is the warning: entering a new area can advance unfinished quests.
