Shameless plug: I made a modpack SPECIFICALLY for this EXACT purpose.
It's called Intro2Mods! Go check it out.

Possibly, but from a learning standpoint possibly not because the way you gather and collect things is very different.
AG2 is a highly modified mod pack... almost all the recipes are modified to be harder to accomplish.
I'd start with something like Direwolf20, which has a good selection of mods and a companion "Let's Play" YouTube series mostly run as a tutorial to go with each new version.

Try Out Ninjas pack its awsome espacially Cause there are Not too many lag mods
Given that your friend isn't playing on a potato, I would recommend a large kitchen sink pack with configs somewhat close to the defaults. Lots of mods available, mostly working like they do "out of the box".
LIke @Hambeau suggested, I think Direwolf20 is a good choice since you have the let's plays as a help.

This depends entirely on your friends motivation for playing modded minecraft.
If they are looking for reasons to fight monsters and explore? Packs involving Twilight Forest, The Atum, Roguelike Dongeons and Zelda Sword Skills (much more than its name implies) should be considered. Ruins, Chocolate Quest, The Erebus and Recurrent Complex are also good to look for.
If they want premade maps that use mods to provide a scenario driven experience, then one of the HQM packs like Agrarian Skies, Crash Landing or Material Energy are good.
If they want the minecraft sandbox experience but with mods providing a technical endgame, then packs using Rotary Craft or Greg tech should be considered.
If the primary motivation is building, but with tech mods to assist, then direwolf20 or any of the RF based tech packs, includingmods such as chisel, ztones, carpenters blocks etc.

I would not recommend Vanilla+ as an introduction pack, as that doesn't really add any mods that get people into modded MC. If one of the biggest things in all of modded MC is tech and automation, why would you pick a pack that doesn't have it? Vanilla+ has it's place (creative builds seem like they would go well), but for a beginner I would choose a pack that has a little bit of everything. So, a kitchen sink pack like Infinity or DW20, or (shameless plug) my pack, Intro2Mods.
