Didnt the Tulley's forces account for a substantial portion of Renly's army? Without them how many of Renly's men does Stannis now have?

You might be thinking of the Tyrells (Margaery and Loras). Stannis would still have a sizable portion of Renlys men. Many thousands, though not the full 100k Renly was boasting obviously.

Can someone explain the whole "red god" and the three debts thing to me? Not sure if it just wasn't explained well, or if it was that guys accent, but that whole thing confused me.

Oh okay, I guess this was just part of the whole religions thing that is bound to get a bit confusing. Is it three deaths because Arya saved three of their lives?

Renly had a great host from The Stormlands (Baratheon and their bannermen) and The Reach (Tyrells and their bannermen).
Renly married Margaery Tyrell to strengthen their hold and army. Renly was assassinated and his (Baratheon) men joined his brother Stannis (Baratheon) since Renly wasn't there, Stannis is the most proper one to hold on to.
The Tyrells (Margaery, Renly's new widow and her brother Loras, the Knight of Flowers, Renly's lover) fled back to their home to avoid blame in Renly's death from Stannis.

This really comes down to the concept of the "Seven Kingdoms" of Westeros. Maps with domains will help.
For instance: http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Seven_Kingdoms (though be careful on this site because this is about the books, not the show and much of the non-reference material will contain spoilers). This link and it's direct stuff are safe since it's all about geography and families.

For someone who talks a lot about honor being important, the way Stannis sneakily killed Renly had ZERO honor.
