Should I add a small resistor to the 22 terminal to bring it down to 22.5? I have a fear of hurting a 201a tube.
No, you should be fine with those voltages. The 23.5 will probably drop a little when you hook it up anyway. Back when the set was new those voltages were not that precise because of the batteries, eliminators, chargers, etc.. I would verify the A voltage going to the filiments before hooking up the power supply.
