I am confused about how I have an empty dn. I am including my ldap.conf and slapd.conf as well as the ldif file I imported via the command line.

Maybe you first had a slapd.conf with suffix "", then imported the data, then edited slapd.conf to have the new suffix?

Nevermind, that was silly. slapd should not have accepted it anyway. If you had a database with an empty DN, slapd should not have accepted adding such an object anyway. The object with an empty DN is a special object called the root DSE. It describes some aspects of the server.
