To make sure I'm reading the hydrometer correctly, is 1.01 actually
the 10 under the 1.00 on the hrydrometer?

It can be confusing at first. Below 1.000 would be 1.010
then 1.020 etc. Many refer to it as 1.100 and that is way incorrect.
Many of my wines start at 1.080 thru 1.092
to say 1.100 would be very high. Reachable but probably not correct.
There is a section in the Tutorials on how to read a hydrometer.
