Yes, they are safe and sound.OK, all but the 1st quest are completable but only the rusty one leads to more quests. And only if done before the debris walker one. Have you tried going to the missile silo? Have you tried proving yourself to Rusty? The toilet one would be a very early quest back in Nogas. Doesn't lead to anything but easily completable. I think the kitchenware for Susan was in the pawnshop in greyfold. If not then another shop.
The big question is have you rescued your parents yet? That's the last big quest before end of chain so far.
