I've been trying to play Guild Wars but the UI and the lack of direction is a bit confusing and frustrating for me. Does Guild Wars allow add-ons/mods? If so are there any User Interface mods that you'd recommend?
UI mods are not a thing, no. The best you can get is some overlays that put additional stuff on the screen.
GW2 generally does not support Addons/Mods as you might know them from WoW or ESO. There are a few that are kinda tolerated (see Sidebar/Addons).
As for lack of direction, the game heavily rewards exploration, i. e. almost eveything you do (even gathering materials) grants experience and leads to your character leveling up and getting more abilities.
So my suggestion is to go to zones with a level range (shown on the world map) around your character's level and it explore them, i. e. unlock Waypoints, visit POIs and Vistas, do Renown Hearts and last but not least engage in Events popping up near you.
Every 10 levels you are prompted (by in-game mail) to progress your Personal Story which will take you to zones you may or may not have explored yet.
