Yes, you can move back and forth as often as you want. If you have Dark Arisen go ahead and install it, there's no reason not to and many advantages if you do.

Weal comes from items like Martyr's Talismans and Pilgrim's Charms and some others. When you consume an item that grants weal to you and your main pawn it'll usually last 5 minutes or so, and during that time you'll get double experience. If you follow Quina's questline once she arrives at The Abbey in The Wilted Forest she'll give you a Blessed Flower that will grant you double experience for 1 full day. Be mindful of how long you've had it if you plan on turning it in to continue the quest, otherwise it'll turn into a Dead Flower.

That said, you don't have to be in a hurry to level up if you don't want to.

And unless you're gonna start farming the online Ur Dragon stick with offline for that fight. The online version takes 2-3 days to die, the offline one you'll be able to kill fairly fast.

And Hard Mode isn't that bad in this game. It's more like Inconvenient Mode, since the worst thing about it is that the stamina penalty takes away so many attack options you'll end up using your Core Skills a ton, which can get a little boring.
