its says i would inflict 111 posion and 45 bleed, is that true? also what if ia dd sepukku to it? would i get the increase in bloodloss with the poison still on?

No the number you see on the katana is the buildup not the damage, i.e. howmany hits till the target gets the status. Once the status occurs, poison and bleed will always deal a specific amount of damage based on a formula.

Poison inflicts differing levels of damage depending on the weapon used. For most weapons, it inflicts (0.07% Max HP) + 7 per second for 90 seconds, for a total of 6.3% Max HP + 630 damage over its full duration.

Hemorrhage inflicts 15% of a normal enemy's max HP plus 100 or 200 damage depending on the weapon used.
Most bosses, as well as normal enemies located in boss rooms, will take 10.5% of their max HP plus 100 or 200 damage depending on the weapon used.

Edit
Might as well add deadly poison which is different from poison and only available from serpentbone blade and venomous fang weapons and the fetid pot itema

For the Serpentbone Blade and Venomous Fang, deadly poison inflicts (0.14% Max HP) + 14 per second for 30 seconds, for a total of 4.2% Max HP + 420 damage over its full duration.
For the Fetid Pot and Roped Fetid Pot, deadly poison inflicts (0.14% Max HP) + 12 per second for 30 seconds, for a total of 4.2% Max HP + 360 damage over its full duration.

As for the seppuku, yes it will increase bleed buildup and your attacks will cause bleed and poison buildup (unless bugged)

Adds 30 flat physical attack power and 30 base bleed build-up that scales with Arcane.

I've messed around with a build like this and I can recommend Double Slash + Poison on a katana, Double Slash compliments the diagonal moveset of a katana really well and since you can continue the combo for 6 hits total it's really good for applying buildup of status ailments

if you are playing on an arcane build, you might consider occult infusion with poison mist ash of war. occult infusion will cause both the katanas innate bleed, and the poison buff from poison mist, to scale with arcane.

Prob, best way to test is to count howmany hits it takes to proc bleed with and without seppuku
