How do you find out what to call someone you’ve just met if you don’t know their age? I know there’s respectful things to say like oppa and unnie but how do you know if they’re older or how much older without seining rude?

Just ask them. If you can't tell if they're younger or older, it's not rude to ask their age and you should give yours if anyone asks. (Remember that Korean age is different.)
Also, you should not call someone 오빠 or 언니 if you just met (unless they ask you to do that). You can do that if the two of you are closer or feel comfortable using more familiar terms like that.

If you know a person's title (such as their occupation) though, you should always call them that first.

Usually people leave out address at first, and ask them '실례지만 몇 살이세요? Like this instead of asking' 당신은 몇 살이세요? '
