Does the route split affect any new units or are they the same on each?

You get the same units in both routes, but you recruit them in a different order and sometimes with a different method depending on the route. For example, a mercenary duo of Gerik and Tethys join in chapter 10 in one route (but require you to either keep them alive as green NPC's until the end of the chapter or recruit a third character in that same chapter and have that other character talk to them) but in chapter 13 (automatically from the start of the chapter without needing to do anything) in the other route. There are also four characters (two in each) that you recruit during one route but don't get in the other until the point where the routes merge back together. But to sum it all up again: there are no characters that you can only get in one route and not the other. None whatsoever.

Also, since you're new to FE and may not know about it, Serenes Forest is a fantastic resource for the series. It has info on every game, including character/class info, base stats, growth rates, recruitment methods, item locations, and much more. If you'd rather play the first time blind and avoid spoilers, don't use it yet because it obviously spoils a few things about certain characters. But otherwise, it's extremely helpful.
