SRAM front derailleur pull any different?
My bike frame has a braze on. I'm thinking of installing an ADVENT system in the rear with a double in the front. Only mountain braze on FD I can find is SRAM X7. Probably just do a bar end for the FD.
It would be 46/30 front to 11-42 rear.

It should be fine. Even if the pull ratio is a little different, you are only running a double and bar end shifters pull a lot of cable.

The Advent 2x9 rear derailleur has a capacity of 47t, so you will have enough capacity for the 46/30 front the 11/42 rear. The 1x9 rear derailleur only has a capacity of 41t and is not designed for the extra capacity needed for a double front chainring. As far as the chain length, that depends on the length of the chainstays on your bike, but any standard 116 link chain should be long enough.
