Welcome to the group.

Now could someone tell me what a restricted temple recommend is?

There is no such thing as a "restricted" temple recommend. The three
types are "limited-use", "live ordinance", and the regular bi-annually
renewed recommend.

The "limited-use" recommends are given to those who have not received
the endowment ordinances for themselves, for any reason, including youth
and inexperience.

I
assume it the one normally given to the youth to do baptism for the
dead. I recall many years ago when I first joined the church (about 18
too), that I was prevented from doing baptisms for the dead and was
told I would have to wait until I got a (regular) temple recommend
before I could enter the temple.

These days a nominally worthy new convert of 18 years of age may receive
a "limited-use" recommend and participate in proxy baptisms for the
dead. See your bishop for details.
