Will somebody please explain unit stats to me.

Right click or double click on your troops and you'll see all sorts of stats. Two tricky things to keep straight.

You'll probably see a lot of numbers in parenthesis, this is the base level of whatever stat. The number to the left of it is the actual stat taking into account all the different modifiers whether positive or negative.

Attack and Damage are quite different stats. The attack value is compared against the defense value of the enemy unit and this is considered when calculating damage. It's a rather complicated equation but largely, if your attack equals your enemy's defense, then you can expect to do a random number within the range of your Damage stat.
