Why the higher the stakes, the less rake hurts your win rate?

I am being told that playing NL10 is not worth my time because of the rake at ft.

How could NL25 possibly be that much better?

cuz FT rakes 10% at 10NL and 5% at 25NL

if u wanna play 10NL, dont play at FT

Yes. If you're rolled for NL10 only you're better off moving to Stars. At NL25 and up they are the same.

I have like $350. I'm thinking about just going for 25nl and hoping for the best. I've played 25nl before but quit when i started loosing.

But with a HUD I think I can do decent....

Of course it's more risky being under rolled, but it's certainly possible with average or better luck. I actually started playing NL25 at FT with only $200, I justified it because I had enough $$ at Bodog to consider myself rolled for NL25 when considered in total. I caught some cards early and quickly got to the point were I could feel comfortable at those stakes.
