Earlier today, I had incoming enemy units, and I was not sure how to send out either my scouts or army to intercept them. Do you tell them to move to the current coordinates, or to a point that you are sure where there will be a "collision"?

Hi Xristos,
At the moment you have no way of telling where they're coming from (apart from watching them on the map if you can see them, and tracing a path back to their point of origin).
If you only have a vague idea of point of origin, you can always send advanced scout units to all the cities you think are likely candidates for the hostile inbound mission. If they are successful, they will report on where that city's military missions currently are and what they're doing.
You cannot "intercept" troops in motion, and units in motion do not collide with each other until they reach their objective.
However, one of the soon-to-be-released new Schools of Magic (called Scrying) might help provide some answers when it comes out.
Best wishes,
-------------
