I used a 22mm yorkshire fitting on some 3/4" copper pipe the other day - If that helps!
I want to go the other way: 22mm pipe into 3/4" fitting

To avoid too much faffing around, if the existing fitting is awkward, you could terminate the new 3/4" pipe short and use a straight 22mm connector - one end to the 22mm existing fitting and the 3/4" pipe into the the other side with a 3/4" nut and olive.
It *might* - but it will be tight, and you'll need a 22mm olive anyway.
A 22mm pipe is slightly (but not much) bigger than a 3/4" pipe. Going the other way is easy - you can fit a 3/4" pipe into a 22mm fitting as long as you use a special olive.
No, the 22mm is slightly larger...
(the other way round will work - h you ought to use a thicker olive in that case, but you can often get away with the standard 22mm one)
