OK, let's not exaggerate. There are a couple of "level 25" quests in the Barrens, but there's no way you're going to get to level 25 in the Barrens just questing. I did all of the quests in the Barrens and Silverpine forest and only got to level 21. Those "level 25" quests are really designed to be done by a group of low 20's players rather than by an actual solo level 25 player.
Regarding the instances, there are three instances in the Barrens, but to get to level 40, you'd have to grind those instances like 100 times to get to level 40. You could say, though, that one could level in many instances and have minimal exposure to being PvP flagged. For example, you could go into Blackfathom Deeps and Gnomeregan and only be flagged for a short time while traveling to them.
However, if you have that mindset, then you probably don't want to be on a PvP server in the first place. The reason one plays on a PvP server is that one actually enjoys the added thrill of conflict and comraderie with other players. PvP adds a sense of danger to outdoor questing that is sorely lacking on a PvE server. Let's face it, a level 55 collection quest is as dry and boring as a level 25 collection quest. But on a PvP server, that same collection quest sends you to places where you might get into a fight with an unknown powerful player-controled mob or group of mobs. And by the way, sometimes you win.
