I found the Privbase58 number. I opened the file i saved it too and looked for the original Address I received with and used the coinciding privBase58 number. Electrum took it. However, I have to work now and after I entered that into electrum it wanted to send or receive. Not sure which to use but will investigate that later.
It is just wanting to know if you want the coins from your Armory address sent to an external address (not your Electrum)... or if they should be "received" into the Electrum wallet that you have open when using "sweep". I would suggest that you want to receive them... if you choose that option, it should pick the first address from your Electrum wallet as the receiving address automatically for you.

I do not understand why that file I created so I can sweep into electrum has dozens and dozens of "unused/address pool" numbers.

I ONLY created One receiving address which is listed first in this list. I have no idea what the rest of them are for. I only created one Receive address when I had first started this. Why would all these other addresses come up, there are hundreds of them?
It is normal for "modern" wallets to create multiple addresses in the background. You can safely ignore all the other addresses/private keys if you only used one.

Still very confusing and not sure why my coins never showed up in Armory. I am just hoping when I figure the electurm thing out they will be there.
Armory requires the block information from Bitcoin Core... and uses Bitcoin Core to communicate with the Bitcoin network. If that data is not available, it will be unable to show you any transaction information, because as far as Armory is concerned, it does not exist!

As Carlton Banks has said, once Bitcoin Core is fully synced, Armory should show your transaction(s) and coins... and you could then send them where you want.
