If you want to try out some third-party packages in the beginning, I think the most "bang-for-your-buck" you'll get is with Avy. Also, expand-region. And specifically for writing: olivetti-mode, flyspell, dictionary, and Nicolas Rougier's Nano and Elegant Emacs setups.
I read the documentation and noctuid's evil-guide and they are great but are more oriented towards vim users, the second one also being too technical for an emacs beginner (I'm not a programmer).
You'll notice there's a consistency in the bindings, even between special modes like Dired and Info-mode. If you switch to Evil, that consistency goes away until you install and properly configure evil-collection. It's manageable if it's important to you. But if you will mostly using Emacs to write prose or poetry, I really don't think it should be.

Evil-mode/Vim provide nothing special for that. The only exception that comes to mind are the find-char/find-char-to commands which jump to or up-to a particular character in your line. But there is a single-file Emacs package called jump-char which provides this exact functionality and doesn't require you to switch between a "normal" mode and an "insert" mode to do it.
Imenu lets you jump to specific locations in a buffer. The default setup lets you jump to a function definition using the name of the function. But you can configure it to jump to any location identified by a regular expression. For example, I use use-package to configure Emacs, and I have imenu configured to jump to any use-package declaration based on the name of the package.
