You would! By default, you would try to advance as far as your character can while taking any action. Such as the case when you're Searching, using and item, and the like. Your character won't suddenly go "oh, it's unlocked, but I think I'll stop here for today." Nah, they'll go in and check out the newly accessible area by default.

ALright, thanks. I was just unsure since if there was something like a really bad stalker presence behind the door if the priority would be to get the pokemon you escorted out to safety.

NPC Pokemon cannot get hurt while being escorted, too. So if you encounter a trap or even a Stalker lair, they'll either flee, wait outside, or take some other action which prevents them from being hurt. Also because Protect/Escort is the same skill, you would be able to protect those you're escorting (more as a flavour text thing, but it works xD).
