    If I wanted to do a program that involved using percentages of rep maxes for weighted dips or push-ups, or pull-ups, would I need to include bodyweight in those calculations or can I just use the weight added?

    The fact that this is the wrong place to ask this aside, what kind of fuckass program are you doing that uses percentages of 1rms on *different lifts* to program weighted dips or pull ups? If it uses the 1rm on the weighted BW exercises, obviously it means however those 1rms were taken. So you must be like, calculating them based on the bench? I have no idea how that program would work. It sounds literally insane.
