As for adventure mode, you're free to archive whatever goal you desire, as for tilesets, yes.

In case its needed.

Well, many of the complex graphical tilesets these days require TWBT which sadly crashes Adventurer fairly often.
Besides that, you can use any tileset you want, it's the same game world.

You can set off with your party and just look for trouble. Some people like to check out Legends to see where the big bad guys in the world are.
Many will advocate spending endless boring hours wrestling rabbits. But I think they forgot what fun is, so just ignore them and enjoy yourself. :)

Villains release adds some neat stuff for Adventurer but sadly didn't complete the actual villains bit of the game. So you can interrogate people, but probably won't be able to put evidence together to root out criminal networks and such and you can't yet be a criminal mastermind yourself. Post-Steam it'll all get fixed up (and you won't have to use TWBT for graphics).

Hey now! It's not endless boring hours... it's maybe thirty boring minutes at most, followed by perhaps another thirty or so of slapping horses with a stick. For the sake of that boredom, you become a walking avatar of death and destruction, fit to reshape the world according to your whim!

...point being, fun takes many forms. Sometimes that fun involves struggling for your life against fellow mortals. Sometimes that fun involves a rigorous training regimen, followed by punching out an angel.  :))

I take a more RP approach to  Adv. I tend to make my goal whatever my character personality is. Right now, I have an adventurer who was born 1000 years after the world was overtaken by the undead. She was raised in a kobold camp, although there was a language barrier, The koblolds saw her as their own . She has no recollection where she came from or who were her parents. One day she decided to leave the camp in search of knowledge. She wishes to collect the old books of the past and store them for safe keeping so if civilization ever rise again, these books  will guide them to learn the art of medicine, science, and math.

She basically scavenge fallen town and fortresses for books and food. She built a cabin for shelter but is working on building a large structure where she will study and store books safely in. Her other goal is to find her people ,as she believes that they  are out there constantly migrating to new camps so the necromancers who now rule these land as gods won't find them.

Thanks.
I am using phoebus tileset in the fort for instance, i like to play this too tileset as adventurer if possible.
In roleplay games it all revolves doing quests, it seems that the adventure can do also those quests
To set a goal for your adventurer seems to be a good start.

If you want a quick bit of direction start as a hearth person and ask your lord for duties or service spertaining to your role as hearth person. That puts an actual quest in your Q->A (agreements) page. Which is your standard fantasy quest. https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Quest

Is there a way to make adventurers wait without leaving the party?

just talk to them choose "demands/orders" (whatever that convo option is) and tell them to "wait here"
