One fan is enough
This
Filter the intakes that you open on the bottom of the tent. Exhaust from the top of the tent. Only 1 fan needed.
If I set it up Carbon Filter->Hood->Fan->Exit will any smell leak out of the tent ?

You can but it's more efficient to have the fan pulling through the hood as opposed to pushing.
Yeah I get it now. Will this set up still mask odour since ill be getting rid of the tent air outside my basement window ?

Yes just make sure you have a good seal between the glass and your hood. If your hood is leaky and you still get odor then having the fan push air through the hood may be a better idea since it will have positive pressure and push air out of any leaks as opposed to negative pressure sucking air in through any leaks in your hood.
Thanks I appreciate it . Wouldn't be a problem to have the fan set up outside of the tents vent or do i want the fan inside the tent ?

It doesn’t matter, whatever works best for your situation. If the tent is in a bedroom, mounting it in the tent might be slightly quieter but not by much. Hanging the fan & filter with rope ratchets or bungee cords will reduce a lot of the vibration. The fans tend to produce a lot of vibration and noise when hard mounting them to a surface.
