Brand new to SN, love it so far. Gonna toss my old chemical make ups and it will feel good!
I thought that I had a bit of an olive tint to my skin, but as it turns out, I was wrong. Currently I have 8 Wh:4 Ebony and 1 Olive. I just have a sampler kit so not much more white to experiment with. Can I fix it by adding more white and ebony, or do I need to start over completely?
Thank you!

Olive is very pigmented. I do think you will need more white. I don't think you will need to add more Ebony unless you have a deeper skintone. For a medium skintone in Olive alone the ratio is about 1 scoop olive to 8-10 white.

In Mac doesn't NW mean not warm?
I think Warm Gold will be too yellow. I would try Olive. It will be around 1 scoop color to around 15-20 white. Or Ebony. 1:9ish.

N30 in HD Cream Foundation is the perfect match for my skin. What mix would I use to get the same color in powder foundation?

It is either going to be Olive or Ebony. It also depends on the white base you use.
Typically, the heavier the white base, the more pigment you need. It will be in the range of 1:9 or 10 in Olive, and 1:5 or 6 in Ebony. The white number is going to be the bigger one in your case.

I would go with an olive color.
