Are high pressure systems always associated with good weather (and vice versa)? Can you predict temperature through seeing high/low pressure systems?

Pressures themselves don’t predict temperature. Temperature predictions in forecasting comes from averages over time for time period. You can have high/low pressures in winter as well as summer.
Wind is caused by air moving from high pressure systems to lower ones. The differences between warm zones and cold zones are called fronts. Winds can move fronts. Storm systems typically move along fronts. If a cold front is displacing a warm front you get one type of rain. Switch them and get another (one cause rain, the other causes storms and I can’t remember which).
The combination of pressure zones, fronts, temperatures, humidities, and other atmospheric conditions determine weather. If you want to see more, look up surface maps (hyperlink below). Here meteorologists take all the information and make a map for a set period of time. These go into the forecast for weather. Learning these you can predict good weather, not really “temperature”.
