RF 35mm IS f/1.8 vs 50mm f1.8 for travel/low light (night) shooting

Just bought Canon R10 as my first camera (with 18-45mm kit) for casual hobby and travel photography. Primarily because I'm doing a hike up a volcano for 2 days and wanted to get some amazing shots of the views and volcano erupting at night... I am thinking of upgrading from the kit lens, wondering if its wort it... Being very new at this... wanted some feedback 

  1. Will the image stabilization (IS) on the 35mm vs the 50mm (non IS) make a big difference in shots in the evening/night when shooting handheld? and same question if using a tripod for slow shutters speeds like 10-30 seconds, or will tripod alone be enough?
  2. Will f/1.8 be too low of an f stop for shooting volcano eruptions at night? Or is something around f/4-6 better?
