I think this was mentioned already, but you should most definitely react to Game of Thrones Season 1 Histories and Lore. They have one for each season and they give an incredible amount of context on the background of the world and events prior to the start of the story. Guarantee you’ll enjoy it and it will help cement in your mind a lot of details that were only briefly touched on. Make sure you only watch the histories and lore once you’ve finished the corresponding season, so only watch Season 1 Histories and Lore after you finish episode 10 of Season 1

The words of House Mormont are "Here We Stand". When Viserys says to Jorah, "Yet here you stand", he's mocking him for being the shame of House Mormont. Jorah's reply throws it right back in his face and reaffirms his pride as a Mormont and the conviction he feels on Dany's behalf.

It's not that each house has different gods. There are two major religions in Westeros: Northerners keep the Old Gods, the many nameless gods of the forest and the wind and the land. Their faith revolves around Weirwood trees with faces. Southrons follow the Seven (aka the new gods). The Old Gods are native to Westeros while the faith of the Seven was imported during the Andal invasion of Southern Westeros many centuries ago. The Andals never conquered the North, so the Old Gods still rule there.

Bastards cannot inherit anything (unless legitimized by royal edict). Gendry was never an option for the throne and no one in Westeros would ever advance him as a candidate.

The Dothraki call him "Jorah the Andal" because they assume all Westerosi are Andals. The Andals conquered the southern half of Westeros many centuries ago. They don't realize that Jorah has little-to-no Andal ancestry because he's from Bear Island in the far North (very near the Wall). The Mormonts, Starks, Wildlings, etc. are all descendants of the First Men who ruled all of Westeros for many centuries prior to the Andal invasion.

Children under the age of 16 can become King, but they traditionally have at least one regent who rules on their behalf until they reach 16. This isn't a hard rule and particularly mature youths have sometimes ruled directly. Lysa Arryn is currently serving as Lady Regent on behalf of her son.

The coronation is an important religious ceremony and perhaps the biggest symbol of legitimacy; however, there have been times IRL when a monarch ruled without one, usually due to some rift between them and the clergy. Whether or not people accept the King as legitimate is all about politics. Yes, Robert's letter was supposed to be incontrovertible law, but if the new regime ignores it an no one else enforces it...welp, lol
