2) How do i build up my city so i can get that heavy armourer to make the noble pikes/scots guard?

1) His appearing is based upon time. During 1200's I believe.
2) Just get a huge (or is large enough) city and build armourers.

You can improve your city to large when its population is 15,000 or 20,000 - can't remember - and huge at 30,000.

William Wallace only spawns when the AI controls Scotland. You can change this and there is an older thread with details on how to go about this. Do a forum search and you should find it.

The best way to build up your cities is to build buildings that give a population growth boost or a health boost. Also make sure that the governor has high chivalry as this also gives a population growth boost.

Having a Governor in a city with taxes set to low for an extended period of time is the easiest way to get high chivalry. You may however aquire some negative traits that give penalties to tax income.

I thought getting William Wallace happend when your faction was reduced to two regions.

Yeah, I thought it happened anytime you lost a region in Scotland (Aberdeen, Edinburgh, or Inverness).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Playing as Scotland, Edinburgh is one of the largest cities in Europe. As stated if you leave a chivalry General {best one probably your king}, and set to low taxes, the city will sprout like a weed. the key is....Once the general gains the Chivalry boot, then you need to shift taxes to normal for a while so your monarch doesn't get negative traits. {5 turns or so} then back to low taxes and the second + chivalry boost. once he gets that, taxes back to normal {5 or 6 turns} rinse and repeat.

Also Edinburgh will be offered the theology guild, I suggest you take it. build a cathedral and your capital will become "Cardinal University" cranking out bishops with 8 & 9 skill level at the start...If you do this you will own the college of Cardinals by turn 90. {Also works for England , btw...}

Searched, couldn't find. Can you please refer me to it? Searched in the submods and in the general forum, didn't find how to make him spawn when player plays as Scotland.

Ours is not to question the infinite mysteries of the search...
