1. He is more likely to rub elbows with people as a worker at the gallery rather than as an artist himself - at least at first, until he has had a chance to establish himself! That said, it is possible to be hired to do art classes. These would be online rather than in-person. It would not be a very high-paying job, and he would likely have other duties are the museum.
2. Most people won't have the ability to recognize ancient script, or even particularly good script. To get traction as being known for this, Lan Wangji would have to deliberately cultivate a following through social media - or find out about the community of people interested in traditional calligraphy. As with most niche interests, there will be a small but established community of those interested in traditional calligraphy, so his best bet would be to try to insert himself there. Of course, there will be those who question his expertise …
However, he can also include his calligraphy in his art, which might end up drawing people within that community to him.
3. In order to get noticed, he can look for locations that include a lot of wall art/graffiti with high traffic. If there's one not in use, he can use that to his advantage - and even get his fellow Displaced to help him out so that he can finish his work. There are also a lot of businesses that have art walks (art walks resource!) that would be willing to put up his work. He can also reach out to Markus, who has a lot of contacts within the art world and may be willing to help him get started.
