Not really. It sounds like a local file system request based on the information you have given. To monitor that would require an app specifically designed to monitor the processes of the offending app and such an app is unlikely to exist unless a need for such has been recognised and developed.
If the HTTP request is not local, i.e. The app is requesting an online help file because you pressed the 'help' button then you could easily intercept the request on your network using a PC and certain software.
Perhaps the UI uses a browser type interface and only SOME of it is stored locally to save space on your device. In either case it doesn't sound suspicious.
Unless you give details of which app this is, we won't be able to help much. Sorry.
It's important to check the permissions an app requests before installing it, if it requires full internet access and you don't think it needs it, then suspect the worst. If you are in any doubt then un-install the app.
