Is there an ingame wiki?

I'm new and finding this the hardest Paradox game to understand. Most of the time I'm having to dig around on the internet to find answers. I'm wondering if Imperator has an ingame wiki to help learn the game - the tutorial was fine at surface level, played a bit as Rome and was doing well, but went to Scythia and got my 14x1000 man tribal armies wiped because they moved at different speeds.

If you have multiple stacks you want to move around in a group, and some of them go faster. Take an army and click the "attachments allowed" button on the left side of the panel. Then click every other army that's on the same tile and click the "attach to army" button on the right hand side of the panel. After that just move around the one army that allowed attachments and every other army will follow it where it goes at the same speed. Hope that solves your issue in the last paragraph.

They will not follow at the same speed. They will follow the same path as the leading army, but they will still fall behind if the leader is faster. To keep them all together the army with the lowest movement speed needs to have all the faster ones attach to it.

I mean, that's a pretty clunky mechanic to force the player to do that, right?

I was more looking for a broad spectrum answer ingame (ie. the Vickypedia in Victoria 3) such as explanation as to what some of the actual numbers mean? Like I have an 8 martial admiral. What does this actually mean? What does a 7 finesse governor do? How can I stop cultures I don't want from growing in my country so I can get more military power from my primary culture?

This is an older game than Vicky 3 (if you're wondering what having no idea what numbers mean, you should try Vicky 2). There's a pretty good wiki page that explains in detail what each thing means, but otherwise the mouse-over text will give you just as much an idea as most other Paradox games.

If there's something that the wiki, online forum posts or your own experience can't answer for you, then feel free to ask questions here or anywhere else IR players will read - most will be more than happy to help you.

For the questions you posed, well, bigger numbers usually means better, so 7 will be alright, 8 will be slightly better (specifics can be found on the wiki as I said). Non-integrated cultures don't tend to grow all that fast in your nation (usually your own culture will be preferenced), so as long as you make a reasonable effort to assimilate, then their culture should shrink over time and be replaced by yours.

Pretty sure the explains what the benefits of those numbers do...

Here is the official wiki for Imperator. I believe you can access it in game as well. https://imperator.paradoxwikis.com/Imperator_Wiki
