I just started my first batch of pee last week and I didn't realize how quickly the SG would drop and it was 1.020 before I added the additional nutrient, energizer and lemon juice. Will it still turn out?

Well the recipe calls for the last bottle of lemon juice to be added at 1.050. I obviously missed it by a day or two.
 
you will be fine, I have had that happen to me a couple of times.
 
Does it usually proceed along this fast? Also can I just let it ferment dry in the primary, and then transfer to the carboy to clear?
 
yes you can lock down the lid and put a airlock on it. Once SP starts to ferment it does seem like it takes off like a rocket.
