Sorry didn't pay much attention in math, don't want to order the wrong sizes.. Rod tip is 0.294 so I would need a size 20 tube, and 0.328 would be a size 22? Seat is 0.808 so that would require me to use a .ah22m 848" reel seat [www.mudhole.com]

You can have the supplier fit the tip and seat and tell you what you need
But
Will the reel fit the seat They should know this
Also
Here is a site that you can change measurements so you can understand them better

0.294 inches = 18.8/64. So a 19 tube, approx 7.5 mm.
0.328 inches = 20.99/64. So a 21 tube, approx 8.5 mm.

0.808 blank diameter will be a tight fit with a size 20 seat. A size 22 seat will need a thin arbor.
22mm is 0.866 inches. Your 0.848" seat will be fine.
