Is a tippet the same as a leader?
Leader:
The term “the tippet” is also commonly used to refer to very end of the leader, the part that attaches to the fly Please keep in mind that Xs correspond to diameter, not breaking strength. For example, every manufacturer’s 5X material is supposed to be 006” in diameter, while every 3X is supposed to be.
Should leader and tippet be the same size?
Leader:
Normally the tippet is 2 to 4 feet in length and matches, or is smaller than, the diameter of the leader’s tip The biggest advantage to using tippet is that it extends the life of the leader. Leaders can be expensive and if you change flies often, little by little the taper of the leader is cut away.

Fly Reel: How much backing do I need for a fly reel
You can probably expect to put around 100-125 yards of backing on that reel and still have room to spool on your line and still have clearance from the spool supports or reel cage. Obviously less would go on a smaller or narrower-spool fly reel and more on a reel designed for a 7- or 8-weight.
