This is part of the openness of Baldur's Gate. It's quite likely that you'll run into enemies you cannot defeat. The game does suggest to stay near the roads, which is great advice for a level 1. Once you hit level 2 or 3, you're party can take on much of what you'll encounter out in the wilderness.
I love it when I am waylaid by kobolds when my party is level 6-7. I totally Beat them in 10 seconds. without any mods or cheats or even removing the level cap. Woot!
The wolf is dead and it was worth of 2000 exp (! lol wut; didn't remember they were this tough) for my noob party. My tactic was to use Khalid as cannon fod.. mmm tank because he has the lowest AC 0. The wolf hit Khalid who was left with 1 hp and started running around scared (obviously). While to wolf chased Khalid my MC archer and Jaheira managed to kill it. Yeeeee let's have a barbeque party!
Chtulhu would love that barbeque. But yeah... I think I'd definitely stay clear of any meat that used to be part of a creature named "Vampiric/vampire" anything.
