What is "mi'Kedem la'Ir", and why did he go to there?

Radak: It is east of the city. He went until he will see - perhaps they will not persist in their Teshuvah, and the decree will return to them 1 . He stood there until the 40 days were finished.

Regarding Chet ha'Egel, it says "va'Yinachem Hashem Al ha'Ra'ah" (Shemos 32:14), and even so He sent a plague on the nation that made the Egel.
