I prefer staying natty bruh

Weigh yourself in the morning, daily after you take a dump if possible to make sure there arent anamolies. if you start getting a belly pull back a little or add cardio is optimal

Find out your TDEE and eat at maintanence + add 2 scoops of protein at night. Yull be fine.

But to even out flucuations take your weekly average weight and keep comparing it to the previous weekly average.
When you see slight increases in here and you are fine.

If I'm gaining strength, the weight I'm gaining should be around half muscle, right?

Also, I'm doing PPL and resting 3 minutes between my compounds (bench, OHP, squat, etc.) and 1 minute between my isolations (curls, pec flys, cable crunches, rope pushdowns, etc.). Is that right? I came from a strength routine where I rested 4-5 minutes between sets so I'm new to a routine like PPL.

In general, you should rest as long as you need to not drop in either weight or repetition as you advance on your sets. Wether that's 1 minute or 3 minute, that depends on the workout you're doing. There is no "correct" answer.

I rest 2 minutes on my compounds except on my deadlift which I do 3 minutes. If I feel utterly exhausted at the end of the second to last set, I'll increase the rest to 3 minutes.

Depends on how fast you gain weight and how much muscle you already gained.
After your first newbiegains our gains slow down over time and if you eat at a huge caloric surplus most of your gains will be fat.
