Is there an easy or any way to convert a component/ family from metric dimensions to standard inch dimensions?

Settings-->Project Units

 

Revits dimensions are smart also.  In metric or imperial you can type dimensions in the opposite format and revit will do the conversion instantly.

"also is there a way to get the dimensions within the component to switch from reading metric to inches?"

As I showed above...

GOTO Settings-->Project Units

Change your Length, Area & Volume units as required...  Doing this automatically updates the model.
