Ha! I finally answered one of my questions that has been bugging me!
I was taking dBm as the definition of voltage - which it is, but only round-about. The hidden variable is the assumed impedance of 50 ohms where 1mW is the zero point for power. That is also why I wasn't getting consistent answers - different application areas I am interest in assumed different values for the impedance and so my calculations were all over the place. I found a reference in the PRS10 reference that tied it all together for me.
