There were these four Imaams (leaders) Called
Imaam Malik
Imaam Ahmad bun Hanbal
Imaam Abu Hanifah
Imaam Sha'fi'.
People follow Islaam how it should be, but some follow a particular Imaam. People who follow Imaam Malik are called Malaki, people who follow Imaan Ahmad bin Hanbal, are called Hanbali, people who follow Imaam Abu Hanifah are called Hanafi and people who follow Imaam Sha'fi' are called Shafi'ee.
They are called Madhabs. A person follows a particular madhab, way basically. And the answer are one of these; Maliki, Hanbali, Hanafi or Shafi'ee.
You may ask which on is the most correct?
Answer:
Allaah has made our worship based on His Book and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The right way is to understand the texts of sharee’ah as they were understood by the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and their followers among the scholars who are qualified and prominent mujtahids. This includes the imaams whose sincerity, fairness and leadership in religion, knowledge, virtue, goodness and righteousness is a matter of record. The four imaams and founders of the schools of Islamic fiqh (Imaam Abu Haneefah, Imaam Maalik, Imaam al-Shaafa’i and Imaam Ahmad) – may Allaah have mercy on them all – all followed the texts of the Sharee’ah and their efforts were all focused on teaching and spreading sound Islamic knowledge. All of them were on the right path, and all were devoted followers of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). If mistakes happened, then the Sahaabah made mistakes too. The things to be followed in Sharee’ah are those for which evidence (daleel) is established. In some cases, some scholars may not have known of daleel whilst others did, but this does not mean that their knowledge and ability is to be discredited. All of them were seeking to find and propagate the truth. If a person wants to follow one of the Imaams and adopt his madhhab, then he should follow him in matters for which there is clear, sound daleel, for this is what is required in Islam, but he should not develop partisan or sectarian feelings towards anybody. It is not permissible for the Muslim to believe that he has to follow anybody in all that he says except the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
The person who is suitably qualified can examine what the scholars said and see what is supported by sound daleel. The “rank and file” Muslim who does not know how to examine the evidence and weigh it up should follow a scholar whose religious commitment and knowledge he trusts, and act according to his fatwas. And Allaah knows best.

May the peace blessings and mercy of God be upon you
I will answer your question to the best of my knowledge that God has bestowed on me.
The Hanbali is a Madhab (which is a school of legal thought) it is not a seperate sect. There are 4 main schools of Islamic Jurisprudence which are related with using the Qu'ran and Authentic hadith (sayings of the Prophet) to come to sound legal decisions about matters not clearly expressed in either of the two.
Hanbali, Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi are all Sunni Scholars. This means the followed the Qu'ran and Sunnah. They did not create separate sects.
Hanbali (Arabic: حنبلى ) is one of the four schools (Madhhabs) of Fiqh or religious law within Sunni Islam. It is also a school of aqeedah (creed) in Sunni Islam, also referred to as the Athari (or Textualist) school. It is considered to be the most conservative of the four schools. The school was started by the students of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (d. 855). Hanbali jurisprudence is predominant among Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula, although students of Islam throughout the world study and may choose to observe its conclusions about Islamic practice. The Hanbali school is followed by less than 10% of the world's Muslim population. It is presently the school of jurisprudence used in modern day Saudi Arabia.
Peace Be With You

they are not anything close to wahabisim
Hanbali is part of the sunni sect of Islam. It is one of the four schools of thought in Islam.
All four actually agree with one another on mnay things, and as Muslims we can follow which ever one be want.
Wahabisim on the other hand is not part of the Sunni sect, it is something totally different

It is a minority-- very "strict". In that was somewhat similar to Wahhabi.
