I'm glad we have a sequel. The mangaka could have ended it with Kaneki dead and that's the end of it. Anyway, this story was planned since the original story ended. If you go back and reread Tokyo Ghoul, you'll see that the blueprint was laid out for :RE. In sequels, you usually are introduced to new characters and we were introduced to the Quinx from the first chapter. They are all undergoing character development with each chapter that's come out. As far as the old cast, they'll show up when the storyline calls for it. It's as simple as that. As far as Haise goes, he's Kaneki with amnesia. This has been established since chapter seven. As the story goes along, he is uncovering more of his memories as people from his past are reentering his life. At the end of the day, this isn't a action story. This is a psychological story about mental illness. Kaneki has been mentally ill since he was a child. He has to come to terms with the trauma that he has dealt with since becoming a half-ghoul and all that that encompasses as well as the issues he has with loneliness and abandonment. Also, him being white-haired was a result of being tortured and he changed into a ruthless and brutal person. He realized at the end that that was a mistake and he was trying to regain the humanity he threw away. So, instead of complaining about how boring the story is, be grateful that the mangaka is even writing a sequel because he really didn't have to do that.
