The chords shown are GCEA tuning. With a low G.
Middle C is middle C, and that note in scientific pitch notation is C4. Sometimes, you hear people call middle C "C3", e.g. Yamaha; but that's in the small minority. For guitars, the middle C is label C4 (following scientific pitch notation); it has nothing to do with using both treble and bass clefs. The clefs are something used in staff notation (i.e. standard notation) and has nothing to do with C3 vs C4.
The OP's question can easily be answered if that melody was originally written for the guitar (i.e. the "you" is at the G above the low E). Book's author may have retained the original melody for singing, as the baritone uke is used in accompaniment role.
The lowest note on an 88-key piano is A0, in SPN.
C4 is the name given to middle C in scientific pitch notation. If you go by Yamaha's naming convention, then that C4 SPN is called C3 (Yamaha). I.e. they both have the same frequency and refer to the same pitch.
"Middle note" has not much meaning. It isn't the same as middle C.
Middle C isn't necessarily the middle C note on a piano; but middle C is always the C note in the middle between the treble and bass clefs.

My Baritone Beginners books says an open G string is an octave higher, see attachment. But now that you said the G string on the baritone is the same as the Low G on a tenor, they sound the same.
If that is true then my beginners book is wrong? That seems weird because they are all Hal Leonard books.
This looks correct to me. If I were to write a low G that's where I would put it too. But I see the conflict with the melody note in the first example. Obviously books like this are not perfect so you may have to live with the conflict and transpose by an octave where needed.

Your book is correct.
I looked at your post #3 again, and noticed that the "you" is actually a "G" note. Initially, I thought it was a "E", so what I posted earlier isn't totally correct WRT the note name; but the book's melody is like still for the guitar with just the chord charts changed for the uke.
