I should be getting CM or 100% matches from my TM, but am getting stuff like 85%, 96%, etc. instead, but when I look in the TM window, I see stuff like:
and
Aren't 1.18 and 1.18, and 1.19 and 1.19 exactly the same?
What's going on here?

"1.18"
The problem are numbers and the localization. Most probably digits with a dot are not a number in the source language, while they would be a number in the target. This is a huge problem for many (if not all) cat tools.
The tool is only a machine and can recognize numbers using a scheme. In case of Studio it uses the Windows built-in regional settings. In this case you could simply try to change the decimal separator for your source language in Windows to dot instead of whatever it is. Then restart Studio and try again. It should then recognize those parts as numbers and replace accordingly.
Otherwise I filter for such segments with regex, then use search & replace for the source text to target and confirm all segments in one go.
