At Magasin and/or Lilly's, what is that clear sauce served on the side of many apps and entrees? Lettuce wraps, shrimp balls, and the rice dishes are served with it.

Clear reddish brown sauce? If so it's a mixture of fish sauce, water, sugar, red chili, garlic, and lime juice. Don't go dipping your spring rolls in straight fish sauce from the bottle.

I second this. Fish sauce by itself is a very odd taste

Its name is nuoc mam. How that is pronounced, ive never quite understood the linguistcs of.

Point of clarification: nuoc mam is fish sauce (the kind in the bottle). The ubiquitous dipping sauce is nuoc cham. Here's a good recipe: LINK
If you want to make Viet food at home, Andrea Nguyen's Into the Viernamese Kitchem covers the basics, including beef and chicken pho, a variety of typical noodle dishes, etc. LINK

This. I can only imagine the hilarity if OP dipped away at pure fish sauce.
Also find a good nuoc mam recipe. Lots of Vietnamese dishes use it and it will make or break your dish. As for the red chili, sambal oelek is an excellent option.
