Blends are just fine. Infact in a lot of ways, cotton linen is better than all cotton. As for viscose, it is good too, makes the shirt a little more smoother and brighter.

tucked or untucked?

Untucked ! General fan of tucked, but here, given the rise of the pants, your torso appears smaller than it should. May be with lower rise and slightly better fitting pants.

What's a good style for guy in his early to mid 20s

First start by wearing different than your regular style. So, if you wear jeans and T everyday, now try some trousers/chinos with shirt. Something basic like a navy chino, oxford shirt. Once you do that and get comfortable, you will start exploring different styles and discover your own.

Even when listed, there is an issue. Some list gsm, some glm, some Oz/Yard, some oz/meter. If listed "230 grams", I don't often know what to make of it.
