1) When someone threatens you with war if you don't give them a certain tech, should you just give it to them and eat some humble pie. Maybe they are stronger then you military wise, but you have the higher score, better culture, technology, etc. Lets say they are also on a different continent and don't pose a huge threat.
If they are on a different continent, I would deny them, but if they are stronger than me militarily and are near me, I will just give them it.
2) Do most civilizations threaten/bully you mainly because you have a weaker military force? I know some like Montezuma will still do it even if you are more powerful.
Yes.
3) Is it possible to be going for a cultural victory and maintain the most powerful army? I know it is possible but it seems hard, especially if you don't have a ton of cities for production.
If you don't have a powerful army, the other AI will most likely attack you, so yes, it is possible, and as long as you don't mind losing a few turns on your cultural vitory, it is easily accomplished (the upkeep will lower the slider a notch or two, but it is survivable).
