Hey, welcome to Brizzle! I ride with a local gravel group - I’ll pm you with details of that sounds appealing.
There’s info regarding mech/shifter compatibility out there across many squillions of articles and forum posts.
If you’re sticking to shimano, basically 9 speed road/mtb and also 10spd road is all the same cable pull ratio, (apart from 4700 which is different!) so is compatible (so, you can use a 9speed mtb mech with 10 speed road shifters).
Then after that it all goes nuts and everything is speed and discipline specific.
I know zilch about front mechs and only have one across 5 bikes so can’t help you with that :-)
Edit: that looks like a GS (medium cage) mech to me - you can use that with a 32t cassette, possibly a 36t.
