I use Allakhazam's as my reference as well, using Thottbot for location data. There is one large caveat - there is NO site that I am aware of that has all the prerequisite information correct. You will have to figure some of that out as you go.

Is that correct?This is quest dependent, but the general rule seems to be "if a mob of that level were orange to you, it's available". Similarly, if a mob of that level would be gray to you, the exclamation point disappears over the quest giver's head. This is not an absolute number, since what is orange/gray changes as you level.

That would be good to know were one need to travel in areas to get quests without having to read quest texts (yes, I know the site meantioned abvoe often have a link to some map with location info, I was more thinking about one map for an area with all quest locations shown, without specifying qhat quest). This would include for example palces of mobs that drop items that start quests.Thottbot has maps that show drop locations. Search on either the quest or the person/object you're looking for.

That said, I have to say that I tried this. It seems like a great idea, but quickly becomes pretty stupid. You rapidly outlevel so many quests in this game. At first 1/3 of your time will be wasted killing mobs that give you no experience points to do quests that give you a couple hundred experience points. As you get into your twenties, this turns into more than 1/2 your time. All this time spent quickly feels wasted.
This is the exact reason, I started my first alt. If you have 3 characters, you can do all of the quests in the game with at least one of them and will be able to get to all the quests while they're still green. This is a much better solution, in my book, and lets you get more of the professional quests and the class quests as well. Ultimately, this is the reason I ended up making a character of each class.
