I'm a low level and I've noticed a lot of people I know and some people in the guilds I'm in are a lot higher level. Can higher level people still help me to level up or does it not work like that?
Grouping with a partner adds 5% extra xp roughly to your normal kill, you will only receive xp up until you are 6 levels above it, E.G. lvl 32 mob will only give you xp until level 38, there is no minimum level however you will miss nearly every hit if you are 6 below and it can be quite a pain to kill things. If a partner or fellow player is outside of the 6 level threshold they will not receive xp nor contribute to any experience you earn.
When you group with a partner, you only have to be near them to get their xp when they kill a mob, even if you do no damage, but if you're level 40 and a v2 groups with you, you receive no xp for anything he kills.
It's a pain, but you could always get a healer to heal you while grinding or to apply damage buffs to help you train faster.
One thing to keep in mind, if your 5 or more levels below the mobs (talking 1 to 50 content here) then you have to do a significant amount of damage to gain credit. What significant means I am not sure, but it does mean not just being in the group and watching.
So, a good mentor will let you do most of the battle and just step in or heal when things get dicey.
The flip side is, if your 5 or move levels above the mobs, you get no exp or loot (and no armor damage either) so anyone helping you is really doing you a favor. We do favors, but just know we are not getting any thing but warm fuzzies from helping you.

Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
