Yes; and it's clear that she later went BACK and did all the detailled work on life in Rome--hence why one of the later ones (I think One Virgin Too Many) is all about the Vigiles, and resolving those difficulties... She may have looked up the Vigiles to start off with, and then found a (more up-to-date) source that explained that they were mostly the fire department.
True on Merry and Pippin--although despite all they go through, they seem much less changed by the journey than Frodo and Sam.
