I wouldn't put the fertilizer out until you see some plants. Just utilizes it better.
Difference between trip 8 and trip 13 is that there is more filler in the 8 and less fertilizer. With a bag of 8-8-8 fertilizer you divide 100 by 8 you’ll get 12.5. This tells you how many pounds of trip 8 it takes to supply a pound each of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium oxide.
With trip 13 that number is 7.6 pounds of that ratio to yield a pound of each component.
As to the lime. Lime is used to raise ph. If it's in the piney woods, pine needles are very acidic. Most soils in Louisiana need lime but you can overdo it so I wouldn't put much without a soil test.

Theres hardly a pine on the land. Its 95 percent hardwoods. Thanks for the replys. I'm new to trying to do all this right on a good piece of property. I'm used to just disking and throwing the seed with the triple 13 fertilizer.

you are correct
also, over time (years) fertalizer lowers the soil's pH

This is my method also. I make sure I get the seed in the ground, then fertilize, then lime if I have time. Our land is an old river bed though so it doesn't take much to get it growing.
