I have torn down an interior wall made of lightweight concrete at home and plan to rebuild part of the wall with studs and plasterboard. The lightweight concrete was built in a recess in the base plate (see image) and I think I should fill in the recess before installing the studs. Am I thinking correctly? And which product should I use for filling? It should be able to hold up to drilling to attach the sill later.
There are two water pipes running to a radiator through the future wall, should I stabilize these in some way? Any tips on how to do that?

Fill in with regular fine concrete (those bags with "all in one") that you just mix with water should work.
The first rule against the wall, I would screw into the wall with plugs and screws and pull it down behind the pipes. Then you can attach a couple of pipe clamps to secure them and the panel material will go around them as well.
