:D I'm so glad you checked it out and are enjoying it! *triumphant fist pump*
I love all the armor and costumes too, especially Jingyan's and Nihuang's. Nihuang is just overall fantastic, as is Xia Dong, and you are not the only one who ships them :)
Yeah, the characters are a bit confusing in the beginning, but you seem to have the important parts figured out. There are family trees etc. on Tumblr, but they tend to be spoiler-y for the mid-season big reveal, so if it doesn't hugely impact your ability to enjoy watching I'd wait. Imo it gets much easier to keep important characters apart soon. I'd be happy to help you out with details if you want.
About the wine plot, yes, many years ago the Marquis used it on the Grand Princess (or rather, her mother did) so she had to marry him. And now the Crown Prince's mother tried to use it on Nihuang to engineer a situation where Nihuang would be forced to marry a follower of the Crown Prince in order to increase the Crown Prince's influence.
