1.- Unless you really wanna get into alchemy - which is an aspect of Skyrim I personally find very boring - Discard every ingredient you come across.
Discard heavy equipment that you have no use early on. Later on when you get good stuff you might wanna sell it, but early on its just dead weight.
Discard every "household" item you grab, like plates, baskets, brooms, etc, they are useless. Dont pick that stuff up.
Discard books I guess, unless you own a house you have nothing to do with them. Just read them in case one is skill-related, but no need to pick them up.
Personally, I discard food as well, whatever I need to heal comes from potions. I dont do alchemy like I said, so I always pick whatever potion I find, theres plenty.
2.- Whatever race you like. Each of them have different bonuses so maybe choose according to however you like to play. Personally I use Nords since its fitting for Skyrim and their 50% resistance to frost is useful. But whatever you go with works I guess. I understand Bretons get a bonus on magic skills but I never used tbh.
Try to learn enchanting. Its the most useful skill IMO specially after you have it maxed in your skill tree. It can boost a lot of your damage output and you can make a lot of gold selling enchanted equipment you dont need.

This is awesome, thanks! One more question: you said "Discard heavy equipment that you have no use early on". Is it said ingame that the equipment is heavy or do I have to use other way to define if it is so?
Also, why is alchemy boring? Is it like cooking in BotW?

Aye. Equipment show their weight value when you select them on the menu. In that same window you can check your carry capacity.
I personally find alchemy to be a chore tbh, you gotta pick/buy ingredients that are not always immediately available and add weight, plus the game doesnt give you much help with recipes because most of them are wrong, I guess on purpose, and everything you can produce through alchemy you are gonna come across in your regular playthrough. I guess the alchemy skill that boosts potion's effect is useful, but I never bothered with it tbh, so I see it as non-essential. But thats just me, I try to keep things simpe so maybe try it just to see if you can get into it more than I did.
