Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country
It looks like it recycles some of the world map from the previous one.
Says it's available now. Don't know if it's just DLC or an entirely new game.

Looks like a pretty legit expansion

The article I read makes it seem like it was a tutorial of sorts for the main game:

“We heard some feedback that the systems in general, and the battle systems specifically, were a bit hard to pick up, or intimidating,” he says. “So we did want to give new players who might feel that way a game that had systems that were easier to pick up for the first time.”
There are also more tutorials in the early stages to explain some of the more confusing aspects of battle and character development, and other aspects, like the map, have been streamlined so they’re easier to understand. These changes don’t dramatically alter the experience, but they do smooth out some of the rough edges from the original release.
You don’t need to have played the original game to understand the story — though for fans, the expansion delves deeper into the backstories of some beloved characters — and the experience is about a quarter of the size of the original, clocking in at a much more manageable 20 hours.

If the next game I was going to get was Xenoblade Chronicles 2, should I get the original, or Torna?

It looks like Torna is standalone.
Would it be best to get this or the full game?

Get the full game. The full game is incredible. If you enjoy that, then maybe look into Torna. You'd appreciate it more after playing the original.

It's technically an expansion I thought...?
I'd play through the main game first, it feels better that way.
