Slowly dipping my toe in the water... (Destiny)

Hey all. So I never really finished up content from The Taken King and I'm trying to see if I can slowly acclimate myself to the game and find a way to enjoy it enough to see what I already own through. Maybe also decide Rise of Iron is worth the price at some point in the future. I played some patrol last night for a quest or two and I gotta say it seems like they made it more rewarding. Happened upon 4 public events in an hour by accident and brought home a lot of loot.

But can someone point me in the direction of a guide or several that tells me how to treat different gear from different expansions/updates, etc.? I remembered (a little too late) that you should maximize your light level before turning in engrams and then do one at a time to try to roll higher gear. That still stands, right?

Should I just trash anything from year 1 at this point? Too low of a light level to bother? Also would give me exotic shards for other purposes, no? Also, is there a good strategy of when to Infuse? I also have a metric crap ton of sterling boxes in my inbox. I should probably Infuse which ever gear I like from that and infuse it?

I also remember that the Gunsmith did weapon test things. Is that still a thing and is it worth doing? I forget why.

Sorry, super out of the loop. Thanks for any help.
