If I import an existing level 5 character and start a new game in Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, does the game scale to match my level, or are the levels of the enemies I'll find in each region fixed? Will I have a "head-start" by starting with a level 5 character who has some basic gear?
Does Baldur’s Gate scale based on initial level

The content itself is not scaled. However, XP gains are scaled, so in time, the game will 'catch up' to you.
Furthermore, I'd highly recommend this course of action. (Though maybe only level 3 or so), because getting one shot by wolves in the first area in BG (and indeed, in any low level D&D game or module), is one of the most singularly stupid and frustrating things in gaming, because extreme-low-level D&D is terrible.
