So lesson learned on my part. But I do wonder if a) there was a way to be more explicit and upfront about only having one quest at a time IG at the beginning (and if I missed it, then totally my fault), and b) is the loss to my notoriety at first level very significant?

Thanks. I probably rambled. I tend to.

a) I myself don't know if it's explicit as to having only one quest at a time but I'll look into it.
b) The notoriety drop from declining one quest won't be too bad for you at first level, just don't keep declining them. I will add that it's best to stick with the beggar until he's "done" with you. He's pretty good at sending new PCs on quests they can manage.
