Nope, resting doesn't allow you to change classes. Its only use is to redistribute skill points. If you want to switch out your Medic for an Arcanist, you'll have to retire.
For the level, check out the tavern. A NPC should be here to give out scrolls that immediately allow a character to get to level 25 (or somewhere around there).
Any party should be able to do just fine for the regular story so you're free to do whatever changes you want.
Well, there is speculation, but the various throwbacks really can make you wonder. I don't want to spoil anything so maybe you should play 4 sometime.

Having recently finished Gladsheim Area II and going "Oh God, WHY!?" at how much was revealed so quickly, I suppose we could start with NOT FRIGGIN' REVEALING EVERYTHING. You guys weren't kidding about how bad it is. >.>
I can forgive Raquna being Canadian. I mean, no one has gone "Wait, if MH3 has Japanese hunters, then that means it must be set in a future where Godzilla and friends took over the world! 
" It just comes off as amusing more than anything and not something to put much thought into.

Now, telling me "Pollution and global warming was killing us all. We created seven Yggdrasils (It was gonna be six, but we threw in Antarctica 'cuz whatevs) to combat it. With no pollution to feed on, they're gonna feed on us. Go kill them all, future person" less than half-way through the game? Yeah, no.
I've no idea what happens in the rest of the Areas or the rest of the Labyrinth yet (though I do know about
the Tokyo thing

Oh man, the game has all my favorite classes and all the other stuff sounds amazing, I can't wait to know more about the game and get my hands on it.
Wait... the Cute Landshark isn't in the game? oh fuck this.
Once Arcanist becomes available you should also have access to some trainers in the quest pub by talking to the people there - the trainer should show up near the bottom. Each trainer can be used twice and instantly gets any character to a certain level. You'll get a new trainer as each class becomes available as a way to bring in someone with that class at an appropriate level without having to do a bunch of level grinding.

Shishou is the girl on the cover of EO1, the blond paladin girl.
(It's the nickname given to her by Japanese players since she is sort of the iconic "leader" and canonically one of the older characters.)
It's a nickname among Japanese fans for the blonde Protector (and other characters who look similar and might or might not be her as well), because of this comic:
'Teacher' is 'Shishou'. 'Medi-girl' is sometimes nicknamed 'Mediko' as well.

They brought the 2 worst Landsharks, like WHY the fuck.
I can see why no Fortress, she's great but the Protector is even better.

My favourite male designs from EOIV (as well as Dante coloured Nightseeker). I'm happy that dancer got in but I'm sad that EOIV male medic isn't in...
Male Dancer > Female Dancer, fight me Mauricio
You'd rather have this one, huh?
Even Japanese fans have doubts about his gender.

Male Medic from Trauma Team + kawaii Landshark are the best EO4 male designs.

I always thought he was a girl too!
Earlier today, I came across this comic while browsing through the EOIV artbook and I thought to myself: boy, I wish this comic was translated!
Thanks a million.

yes, he's pure love.
Please don't use the word "trap." It's against the TOS as far as I'm aware.
Yup, we even had a user from PersonaGAF get banned for one such usage. I'm sure the intent wasn't malicious, but the term does have negative connotations to it, particularly now.

Hoping to find EOIII for a better price at my local game trade in store rather than Amazon. They want just as much for it as EOUntold.

It's worth it.
EO3 has always been around 19.99-29.99, good luck finding a good deal.

So i now retired my Medic into an Arcanist and got her up to 25...
Thing is now though, i realize i no longer have a char to heal status ailments and revive... do i need to use those tedious items now for that until i get subclasses or is there a better way? btw: when DO i get subclasses again?

You get subclasses halfway through the third stratum. If you have a Dancer, you can rely on them for heals and status ailments, but overall the third Area doesn't have too many monsters that can spread ailments compared to the second, so it's not necessary to carry 20 Theriacas.

i can but for revives im shit out of luck right? Nectars i guess ugh...
Also: Will she catch up quick enough to the rest of the team if i keep playing or should i grind some levels out with her alone out there to catch her up to 32 like the rest of my team?

If you want to even out levels in a hurry (which I always like to do), now's a good time to bring in some QR code characters from the Cargo Wharf. You can generate a code for a single character on your guild card, then scan that code in to make a "clone" of that character to add to your guild. Just repeat that process for the rest of your party.
QR code characters don't get any experience, or any share of experience. So padding out a whole party with them ensures the character you're working on gets 100% of the experience from every fight without having to do all the work themselves.
Unless you're particularily OCD about matching levels for the party (I know that feel), she should be fine, and the gap will feel smaller as you progress.

Here's a little tip, don't understimate the usefulness of items in EO. My dancer and Arcanist set their dances/circles and then were free to use items or do other stuff, it's much better than just waste a spot for someone that can revive.
You can later subclass your Arcanist as a Medic anyways, and just dump some points on Revive.
The drawings are surprisingly good.

Thanks for the tips... I guess i don't feel like doing the QR thing after all so i'll just have her catch up naturally i think...
Also: I just realised i might have misjudged how circles work in this game. I always thought you set a circle which either hits or doesn't hit in THAT moment and then those enemies that get hit by say poison will stay poisoned for 3 rounds. Now i somehow see that these circles RETRY to take effect EACH turn and they may hit a previously unaffected enemy the next turn then?
