Hey i wanted to know where i can find the size on the actual boot? Is there a tag or something inside of it? And if my normal ski size (was nordic’s boots) was a 28.5 would i fit into a full tilt 27.5?

Tell them you're looking for ski boots.

This is what you do:
1. Research in your area (or where you will be skiing) which shops are the best boot-fitters
2. Call them and make an appointment (budget at least 1 hour, maybe 2)
3. Trust their boot recommendation that is based on your foot shape, budget, and footbed needs.
4. Enjoy the best boot for you, for all types of skiing.

FYI- at this time of the year, shops do not have all boot options in stock. Some things are sold out already, so you might not find the ideal solution for your needs. Your best bet is do this in September/October when all options are available.

There is no other correct answer.

Unless you've gone through the steps I've mentioned and know the boot you are about to buy is the right thing for you, then it is a super bad idea to buy the boot.
