Thank you,

On #1, can I also say "Our journey went from city A to city B."?

Yes. "Our journey went from city A to city B." is fine.

The only problem with "Our journey began from city A to city B" is that your verb is begin.

"Our journey began from city A and ended in city B." would be fine. Also "began at" sounds a little more natural to me but there is nothing wrong with began from.
