“I was wondering if, in addition to those classes, I should take the often recommended undergrad. mathematics classes like Real Analysis, Differential Equations, Econometrics, and Vector Calculus if I’m going to try and get a graduate degree in economics.” Yes, all those are classes that will help for top programs.

“Is graduate school in economics really just focused on mathematics? And if so, should I just steer away from trying to get a graduate degree in economics becuase I’m really not too exceptional at math.” Yes, grad school is really focused on math. You can see how the calculus sequence goes for you before making any decisions about graduate school. Just try to keep a high GPA for now.
