I’m not understanding partial movement. When and how is it determined how much you move? Can you just creep forward a few millimeters? Or is it only when you can’t make a full move due to an enemy unit or ubstruction?
I’m coming from Armada and Runewars, where being able to cut your movement early would be game breaking, but maybe short moving has little to no effect in legion.

Compulsory movement generally isn't a thing in Legion. It's not as tight a ruleset. Only a few specific units (Speeders) have any compulsory movement so far, and it just means they have to travel the full length of the movement tool.
Partial move means you can move as much or as little as you like. Heck, you can take a move action and essentially not move at all.
Ok so more like mechwarrior AoD, I guess all I’d be doing by making a move action and not moving is wasting an action. Thanks

You could theoretically trigger an effect that happens when/during/after a move action, but not sure what that would be right now.
if a vehicle has a movement speed of 3, can you use the speed 2 and then the speed 1 movment tool or use the speed 1 movment tool three times in place of the speed 3 tool?

Compulsory Move requires you to perform a full move with the unit or suffer wounds equal to its maximum speed. You must use the Speed 3 movement tool for both units that currently make Compulsory Moves.
For Movement actions you can use a movement tool with a value equal to or less than its maximum speed, so you could indeed use a Speed 1 or Speed 2 movement tool when performing Movement actions.
To sum up, you must use the Speed 3 movement tool on the Compulsory move, then you can use the Speed 1, Speed 2, or Speed 3 tool for any Movement actions you perform after the Compulsory Move.
In addition to what NeonWolf said, for non-compulsory moves you can also elect to make a partial move.
So any unit taking a normal move action may use any speed template equal to or lower than its maximum speed and they may also make a partial move with the chosen template.
Vehicles may also pivot instead of using the template during a normal move action.

You definitely can NOT use 3 speed 1 movements instead of a single speed 3 movement. First, 3 speed 1 templates are longer than a single speed 3. And that is before you add the additional space for the base. Second they are single hinged movement templates for a reason. The use of 3 speed 1 tools would allow far more agility than is intended. A speeder bike could do a full 180 turn as a single action, making it more efficient than a pivot. But as NeonWolf said, you CAN use a single speed 1 template instead of the speed 2 or 3 for you move. There are times were you might want a tighter turn for example. As long as it is not your compulsory move.
