Start on the fretboard if you learn to your fretboard—the very easily Handle to practice method. For example- After playing string open, after opening e, after pressing the exact string in first freight, it becomes F. From this, it is easy to understand how freight boards and major and minor scales are formed.

It depends on the chord progression you are playing over. If the chords are minor, then we have to play the minor scale and similarly for major. But that doesn't mean you can't choose a major scale over a minor. But if you are starting with soloing for the first time, apply this. E.g., For A minor chord, play A natural minor ( aeolian mode) or minor pentatonic scale. For A major, play A major scale (Ionian mode) or major pentatonic scale. I hope it helps.

Each major key uses a different set of notes (its major scale), just as it did in major scales, starting the minor scale pattern on a different note. A minor key is called the relative minor of the major key that has the same key.

Good question many musicians have doubt about it. So all you need to learn the theory of chord harmony and relative minor and relative major.
Then improvisation gets bit easy. If you want to develop you improvisation skill start practicing the scale patterns/modes.
For more understanding on this or if you are looking for formal training in music theory and instrument kindly approach me. I have very structred syllabus for scales, modes, chord harmony etc.
