I extracted the wallet words from my android bitcoin wallet which uses the bitcoinj protobuf file format. Using those words, I can get multibit HD to generate the same addresses. However, when I use a BIP39 to BIP32 tool like https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ I can't get it to generate the correct addresses. Is there anyway for me to get that to generate the addresses? More importantly, how do I get the private keys of those addresses?

I figured it out. I realized that bitcoinj wallet tool has an option to also dump the priv keys.
