If I begin the process of annexing a vasall, can I during that declare a war on Ottomans? or will it pause the annexation or not be possible?
Or can I even start the process during a war?

Not sure what the Ottomans have to do with this question. You cannot start annexing while at war. War does not impact an in-process annexation unless you let your vassal''s capital get occupied.
You can't start the process during a war. But you can start it one day and start the war the day after, and the annexation process will proceed as in peace. I'm not sure what happens if the vassal under process is occupied partly or wholly by the enemy, I have never had this case in my games.
You can also still give provinces at the end of a war to a vassal whose annexation has started. It will increase the annexation cost, and so the process will be longer. It can be interesting still if you reconquer cores from the vassal. If you give it provinces that it should core, it is probable that it won't do that before being annexed, and so you will pay dip points for recovering a province that you will have to core yourself anyway...
If I make a vasall into a march, will it be in any way more difficult to give them provinces and have them core it or to have them make claims on enemys around?
by now I am making provinces of enemies "vital interest" and then the vasall makes (sometimes) a claim on that.
Do marches do anything different or are any harder to handle with newly conquered provinces?

the wiki says about the coring range
"If a country's vassal has a core in province B, then the country can core any province adjacent to B in its home continent. B doesn't have to be owned by that vassal."
does this still apply if I make that vasall a march??
If I am papal state and I have TeutonicOrder as a vasall, but I turn TO into a march, will I still be able to core next to TO for myself?
Interesting question. I believe so - if not it's definately a bug.
it is pechenegs in externed timeline but i think it is what it is i mean every vassal (nation) is doing this (simply dont accept moving capital to any new places and undo when they have enough ADM). i remember tried same thing with crimea (march) when i was playing ottoman game.
if there is a way to change this from save game file it helps too.
Maybe not a quick question, but is it worthwhile to take Mandate as Japan after eating almost all of China?
In my current game, Ming exploded and the remainder got mostly eaten by Shun, Wu, and friends. So I force-vassalized the three-province Ming minor and fed it back its cores, then diplo-annexed it. Does it make sense to take the Mandate from Shun at this point?
I took the mandate to see what would happen. The 25% advisor discount and spy defense seem nice, but so far each reform means at least five years of doing nothing but quashing rebels plus a lot of negative events while waiting for Mandate to get above 50 so I can get back to beating on the Ottomans. It's kind of like the old Westernization gimmick.

You can also take the Mandate, go to 100 mandate for the -2.5 unrest (and other less inyeresting bonuses) and never take a reform. Boost meritocracy to 100, and then take the decree for -10% CCR. This will give you bonuses without too much issues.
The main issue with taking the Mandate was that you could not yet expand elsewhere without damaging your Mandate. It is no more the case.
I would like to disinherit my Heir, but I have no clue if I my ruler have other son.
Is there an option to see if your ruler has multiple heirs?
1.Is it possible to check it for my ruler?
2.Is it possible to check it for any othe ruler in the game (for example my rival or ally)?

i dont think game has this information. (other sons) after disinherit, getting new royal marriages could help to get a new heir.
EU4 doesn't have a deep family system. Ruler, Spouse, Heir, that's all. If you disinherit, it's vacant until the game randomly spawns a new one.
Quick question, I am currently making a mod for EU4 and wanted to make a custom government type. I succeeded in making the government but I failed to make a custom government ability. My question is, is there anyway to create a custom government ability like the Russian government ability but with my own values and limitations?
The state religion of some my colonial nations is different from the mother country. How do I make them change?
Note that because of the "No Religious Penalties" Idea Colonies get, they will never convert provinces. You'll have to do it yourself if you have Cradle of Civilization.
Sad! I do not have that DLC and did not see that added function described in that DLC's store page. I would have purchased during this past weekend's sale had I known.

What are exact AIs' reqirements for joining religious leagues? As far I'm aware it's supposed to be opinion/relations towards leaders of both sides, current emperor and leader of protestants. I'm asking because Spain joining Brandenburg with mutual -25 relations and neutral attidue doesn't make sense to me when Spain and Bohemia (emperor therefore catholic league leader) are both friendly towards each other with over 100 relations. Rivalries shouldn't make any impact on those decisions since I've seen multiple times major rival countries being on the same side during league wars. I'm Byzantium and rivaled to Spain if this is useful somehow anyway.
How does the "bankruptcy and a half" thing work, and how to you recognize it to be the case? I'm doing the Levant turnabout and both me and the Ottomans are pressed hard (each have like 100k rebels, though they recently went bankrupt while I'm merely in debt and out of manpower). If I could cause a bankruptcy spiral for them, that'd be nice as they were the ones declaring this war of mutual destruction.
