I went to open a browser window today with CTRL+n and I wasn't in the browser I was in vim, when a menu popped up with what looked to be about every word in my entire document.
What does CTRL+n do, and where can I find the documentation for it?

In normal mode, it basically moves your cursor down, it is like pressing RETURN. From :help CTRL-n:
<NL> or CTRL-N [count] lines downward linewise.
In insert mode, it triggers the autocompletion (n for "Next" matching term). From help i_CTRL-n:
CTRL-N Find next match for words that start with the
keyword in front of the cursor, looking in places
specified with the 'complete' option. The found
keyword is inserted in front of the cursor.
In insert mode, CTRL-p finds the previous match.
