Ooooh, a norse/germanic themed quest and we aren't locked into Berserkr clichees. Nice.
Now just have to hope that Perky Murder Witch and Viking don't win.

One of your plans points is missing the - and because of that not counted as part of the plan.

Any reason why you don't want them to win?
Probably has to do with Berserkr cliches. Those two options have Bloodthirsty.
CoatRackRanger guessed it. The Bloodthirsty part makes the characters uninteresting to me.
You can do combat (and be good at it) without being Bloodthirsty, though.
And I assume there are more ways of gaining glory than just being a frontlinefighter.

How do we have to imagine the wanderlust, how offen would we need adventure to be satisfied and how big does the adventure need to be?

Absolutely. It's just the easiest and probably most accessible way of doing it. Anything that earns you renown can get you orthstirr, such as dressing fancily and being a good host during a feast.
Essentially, you've got an indigent desire to see new things, things that you haven't seen before. The boredom feels like daggers scratching at the back of your mind; the monotony of the same things over and over driving nails into your head.
Going on an exploration at least once a year will stop you from getting antsy. Once a season will keep you very satisfied. It doesn't have to be a very big adventure, as long as you're discovering something you haven't seen before you'll be alright. Eventually, though, you'll run out of things to discover in the easily accessible areas, which is when things start getting dire for you.
You can last a few years before your Wanderlust becomes too much to handle, but you'll eventually get fed up with it.
On the flipside, it does mean that you'll get a temporary boost to your hamingja whenever you encounter something new.
The same for Bloodlust. As long as you get into some kind of a fight at least once a year, you won't get any worse. Once a season to be completely fine. Though, unlike Wanderlust, you don't run out of people and things to fight unless you, somehow, killed all of them.

Does Bloodlust require fighting or would stuff like performing a human sacrifice also work?

It says 'spoiling for a good fight' so probably not. On the other hand, nonlethal combat probably does work as long as it's taken seriously, since it's 'spoiling for a good fight' rather than 'must murder things'.
