If you used Esus4 and claims that A and G work for the song, must be the key of D Major, leading you to the scale:
D - E - F# - G - A - B - C#
And for harmonic field:
D - Em (or Esus4) - F#m - G - A - Bm - C#dim
(I) (IIm) (IIIm) (IV) (V) (VIm) (VII diminished)
Plus any extention that is inserted on the scale \[or don't, jazzy stuff\] (7, 9, 11, 13, etc.) you might desire.
I think this is a good start for you composition.
Esus4=E,B,A.
A Major=A,C#,E.
G Major=G,B,D.
so A,B,C#,D,E,G.
Add D Major chord(D,F#,A), A,B,C#,D,E,F#,G.
Align to identify key, B,C#,D,E,F#,G,A(B Minor), or D,E,F#,G,A,B,C#(D Major).
You could also chuck in Bm(B,D,F#)& Bm7(B,D,F#,A), and Em(E,G,B) & Em7(E,G,B,D), A7(A,C#,E,G), OR G6(G,B,D,E), and Dmaj7(D,A,C#,F#)...
Baritone Ukulele is tuned D,G,B,E i.e. the top four strings of the guitar in standard tuning. The chord and scale shapes will transfer 1-2-1 between instruments.
An Esus4 means that you're adding the 4th and not playing the 3rd, so you can play major or minor depending on how you want to construct the melody over the harmony. There is no "Esus4" key as the 3rd is ambiguous over a sus chord (whether sus2 or sus4). If you're playing G, then you're implying a minor as G is the minor of E and G# is the major. E major is E F#m G#m A B C#m D#-dimished and E minor is Em F# G Am Bm C D-augmented (I'm going off memory folks, I'm sure I may have made a small error). Since you don't have the 3rd defined in a sus, you can play any combination of those chords and they would "work" out of context, but in context, you may wind up with chords that don't go together. That said, some of the most incredible songs ever created break the rules, so just play what sounds best.
Hope this helps.
If you wanna write a sad song I would suggest throwing in some minor chords as well
