at least 80% before I get any sound at all, which means I am doubling up on the preamps..?
4) Even if I connect the Aura into the Return send of my interface which should bypass the interface preamp altogether I get absolutely no sound at all
5) I am also using a Fishman Rare Earth blend (not a piezo)

Yes, both will work perfectly together if everything is gain-staged properly.
Firstly, there is a trim control on the Aura DI which, depending on how hot a pickup output is, can be turned all the way up. This and the Aura volume knob will give the hottest output signal from the Fishman.
Then you can connect to the interface via 1/4 jack cable: Aura output->ID22 input 1 or 2
or using an XLR cable: Aura DI Output -> ID22 XLR inputs.
If the signal is still not high you could turn the gain knob up on the ID44 but you shouldn't need much.
I'm not sure what you mean by 80% volume turned up. Do you mean 'gain' or 'volume'? Because if it's the latter that's normal because on the Audient interfaces every time you switch them on, they default to zero volume and need the volume (the biggest knob)to be turned up. But that's not the same as preamp gain, so you don't double up the preampfification.
