Of course i can do from my terminal electrum help <some command>

Answer 1

To see the list of Electrum commands you type:

electrum help

To see the documentation for a command you type:

electrum help <command>

The link to the Electrum documentation is here: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/cmdline.html

Answer 2

AFAIK, there is no way to get documentation from inside the Console itself. However, you can browse the source code:

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/lib/commands.py

Alternatively, this article lists all built-in functions, their arguments, and provides many examples of use/output:
