> 彼の気持ちに寄り添いたい。

I think this sentence means "I want to get closer to his feelings", "I want to
understand his feelings better", but I'm not sure.

question
expressions
What does 気持ちに寄り添う mean?
It is an inherently vague expression (to me at least), but basically it is an
expression of hospitality or willingness to be kind.

So your interpretations are not off, but it means more than just
understanding. It means the speaker wants to share/understand his feeling so
that it helps or consoles somebody in need.

It may be close to _to be compassionate_ in English.
