In normal difficulty, the pvp queueing option was in act 2, when you speak to Greust, but now in cruel difficulty I just don't see it.
Depending on the difficulty, where can I join pvp matches?

It is very possible to create a character that cannot proceed past a certain point. It's even expected that you'll eventually reach that ceiling. Path of Exile focuses more on reaching the end-game than surviving it. As of this writing, the highest level player is only level 84.
Class ultimately doesn't matter, but there have been numerous reports of melee being less viable than ranged classes in the 60+ level range.
Don't worry too much about your first character, mistakes are almost inevitable. Just take notes of what seems to work and what doesn't, and you'll have a greater understanding of the passive skill tree in no time.
Just remember that PoE is designed to be unforgiving, and roll with the punches. Above all, have fun!
When selecting a waypoint, you can change the difficulty by selecting an alternate difficulty displayed above the map waypoint list.

Theory:
In PoE there are two PvP "modes":
You can access the low-level PvP queues from Greust in normal Act 2 or the Event noticeboard in Act 3. The high-level PvP queues can be accessed from the Event noticeboards, which are located in every town (except normal Act 1). You should be able to get into the high-level PvP from the Event Noticeboard in cruel Act 2, but don't expect to win, you will most likely be matched with a player that is level 80 or above.
There are other options to start PvP matches though:
You can find more information on the different PvP modes here.
Reality:
In Cruel your chances of finding another player that want's to PvP are rather slim. Random players in town are seldomly interested in PvP and the Cruel Sarn Arena is usually empty.
Your best bet would probably be to ask for a challenger in global chat.
Alternatively you can create a PvP-only character that starts out at level 28 and can only be used to access the Low-Level PvP queus.
