We owe the IRS around $700 for an overpayment from them from 2015. Will that amount come out of our return automatically?

Yes, if you owe the IRS $700 for a previous year and will be receiving a refund for 2018, the IRS will use your refund to offset the prior year debt. You will receive a refund for the balance, if any, after the debt has been satisfied.
