I'm level 4 and I'm just in front of hag house. I want to save Mayrina. How do I do that? I searched for guides, but most of them are outdated.

1st come back at level 5... no really, its doable but you are better off waiting
the swamp has lots of things going on;
1 portal to the underdark
2 shadow druid tree [protected by nat-spirts]
3 the "sheep"
4 a monster hunter encounter
5 the hag house
if you have your little heart set on killing the hag i'd start by getting rid of her sheep 1st, then i'd make sure i can cast magic missile and i'd also want very good perception
as for guides without knowing your party and class thats just pointless

The guides shouldn't be outdated. I don't see much change compared to EA (except the loot you get from the hag). I do it this way: Speak to the hag, mention her murder of Mayrina's brothers. Mayrina cancels the deal and Ethel sends her to her playhouse. Ethel vanishes, some fight them here, I never do but let her go. I kill the redcaps, easy-peasy with a lvl 4 group, then enter the playhouse through the fireplace. I kill the masks which can be a bit more difficult, you are possibly not at full power after the fight. Therefore I leave the playhouse and make a long rest. after reentry I jump thought the waterfall and climp down the ladders. If you jump beyond the first poison cloud and jump at the end, you only need to pass through one cloud. At the bottom I short rest, to get full hp.
Then I sneak towards the hag's position, visible by the red area. You should have Magic Missiles ready, at best another character has Burning Rays. It's important to have the ability to create rain (f.e. Cleric and/or Raindancer staff). It's nice to have flying minions in the group (Ranger or Warlock). I confront the hag, after the dialog the fight starts. She makes her copies and sets Mayrina's cage on fire. Hunt the copies down with minions and/or Magic Missiles, do damage to the real hag. Put out the fire on the cage with a rain spell (once I threw a water bottle and the cage fell down and killed Mayrina ...). When Ethel copies Mayrina, aim at the Mayrina wihich shows less hit chance.
BTW I always kill the hag and don't cooperate with her to get her hair.
You could perhaps also just shove the hag into the abyss, I did it one time in EA, you just lose the loot. The Ethel fight was one of the two fights where I failed the first try in the EA, for me it always was an unpleasant affair. It was however extremely easy this time in the release (on balanced difficulty), I had no problems at all.

How are the guides outdated? What has changed between EA and the full game?
There are loads of vids out there showing umpteen ways to deal with the hag fight.

I always go for the hag when I am 4th level, it's a challenge but can be done. Preferably sleep before entering her lair or well, you could sleep after the masks but then you have to go out of the lair to go to camp. Magic missiles and create water are essential spells for the final battle, beyond that you can be creative.
First get past the door by walking through (there will be a conversation first with the door).
Then defeat the masks. Take down the two spell casters first ( a healer + a damage dealer), then the other two will be relatively easy. Not an easy fight though!
Get past the clouds + traps by jumping individually. You will take damage once from jumping from great height so you have to short rest or heal when all are down.
Fight the hag using magic missiles on mirror images, and to determine 'which is witch' (another trick of the hag) examine each ones, you will see there is a difference.
Try dealing as much damage to the hag whenever you get the chance. You want to take her down as fast as possible. Good luck!
