The main story quest on Skellige is marked as level 16, and it is not particularly difficult combat-wise. You should have no issue doing it, and it'll give you a nice bunch of XP. There are some other quests on Skellige around level 16-20, so there should be enough to do there. Besides, should I go to Skellige or Novigrad first?
You have to go to both. I suggest going to Novigrad first, but be warned: it's the dullest area and has the most boring quests in the game. Skellige is a breath of fresh air (literally and figuratively).
Furthermore, will going to Skellige fail quests? No. Once you've been there, you can return to Velen from Skellige via fast travel. The only thing that auto-fails quests is progressing through certain main story quests.
Keeping this in consideration, can you go to Skellige early?
There is one boat in Novigrad that takes you to Skellige for 1000 crowns, the captain is in the Golden Sturgeon. This can be done at any time once the Velen/Novigrad area is unlocked, but you have to fight some level 16 pirates.
Is Ciri in Skellige velen or Novigrad?

Captain Wolverstone can be found in the tavern near the port.

Important - if you don't have enough crowns, then sell items you don't need at local merchants.
