Just grabbed a 58 & 77mm B&W circular polarized filter kaeseman with MRC.

Correct purchases?

77mm for the L, the 58mm for a 100mm macro & 50mm

Yes, I would say so. I find mine mighty useful. Plus, with the 77mm, if your lenses change to a 72mm or 67mm filter size, all you will need is step-down ring and you will be good to go.

Definitely a good choice, great glass, beautifully engineered, and tough as old boots.

Going to shoot a reef tank, will these help like polarized sunglasses- cutting glare n popping colors?

Exactly what they're for :) and help reduce reflections. Mine goes on pretty much any time I'm shooting scenes with water and/or glass

B+W Kaesemann are very good quality. You won't be disappointed with them.

Note that all polarizers reduce the light reaching the sensor quite a bit... as much as more than a stop... They are one of the stronger types of filters.

Yes; depending on light strength, I've found the B+W, at least, to be anywhere from 1.5 to 2 stops

Dont forget a Filter Wrench.. B+W are notoriously known for getting stuck in lens.
