If I can run an all-out 10-mile time trial @ 8:00 pace, could I do a marathon at that pace in 22 weeks? Training before the 10-mile race was 45MPW with a 14 mile long run each week and lots of workouts (tempo, intervals, and some race pace runs).

With only that information you would be better off querying a database to find what might be possible on higher mileage.

Or using that race time in a VDOT lookup to see what a trained marathon equivalent would be.

I bet not, but I'd enjoy being proven wrong. IMO train at your current fitness for a while and don't assume you can run faster before you have in a race. Do another time trial 14-12 weeks out and assess fitness from there.

22 weeks is a long time, so yes. You would do well to increase your mileage, and focus on long runs with portions dedicated at or just below race pace.
Since you literally have the entire summer, I love this program for upping your mileage:
