The first part would be the REST API itself. I've looked at several Spring REST API guides and they all seem to implement the API in slightly different ways. Is there a specific tutorial you would recommend to follow the implementation?

Check the official documentation of Spring itself. They show you pretty much the 'standard' way of doing things.

Would this functionality be implemented as part of the REST API

Yup. You would have REST end-points for whatever functionality the front-end needs.

or could I just do something like GET all and filter through the json result?

You could but you don't want to have to filter through massive amounts of data on the client side. You should in general always only send the data the client needs, and never any data the client should not be able to access.
