TheWoWDBWhile The Night Watch is the direct next step of this quest, completing this quest also unlocks The Hermit and (confusingly) Look To The Stars.
You can take Supplies from Darkshire directly from the NPC without The Hermit though.

Do this quest alongside Seasoned Wolf Kabobs. Kill two

Highly doubt this. Duskwood Night Watch have nothing in common with Night Watch of SoIaF series, besides the name. And there's ALOT of novels, movies, TV-series, etc., and actual guard patrol groups, that bear this name as well.

The dire wolves are the most common threat to the townsfolk here. They lurk in the forests on all sides of us, though most are along the north bank of the river. These aren't the runt dogs you see in Elwynn, or wherever you come from. They're big as a man and twice as vicious. If you wish to assist the people of Darkshire, hunt the dire wolves so our streets can be safer.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Worgen in the Woods
Here you go, <name>. Bring this message to Master Carevin. <He quickly removes a piece of faded parchment and offers it to you.> A few more like you, and we will outnumber the Night Watch! Perhaps then we could complete the work that we few carry on today.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Night Watch
I'm afraid you're all I've got to help here, <name>. Stormwind's forces are so taxed by greater evils that they can't spare a single footman to protect Darkshire. It's up to me and the rest of the Night Watch to keep our homes safe. There's more threats here than just wolves, unfortunately.
