It seems cool so far but I have no idea what I should be doing. I'm at the "Bloody Baron" quest currently. Is it better to try to start sidequesting immediately or should I be going through the main story? Is there are gear upgrades I probably want to go for?

I've never played a Witcher game before and I'm struggling to get invested in anything and find a purpose. I sort of lean towards building up my character to doing fun, over-powered things in games like this.

This was the first Witcher game I played also and basically you just want to go at your own pace. I would just do the side missions and story missions to where they correlate with your character's level, because if you get OP'd then you won't get the EXP later if you try and do them (I think it you're five levels higher than the suggested level you won't get exp).

You also can find some Witcher armor and weapons in Velen.

My only playthrough was kind of fricked because I had the Pyres of Novigrad glitch for like two weeks so I had no choice but to do sidemissions and I got OP'd really quickly.

I'd assume whenever I play the game again, that I would just kind of stay with the missions that were relative to my character's levels. The one thing I'd advise is to not rush through the main story, do some of the main story and then come back to the rest later if you want. There are quite a few side missions that have great plots and can ultimately have an impact on the game later.
