Can a ct scan spot seizure activity then alert them to do an eeg?

Possibly: Generally ct scans show anatomy; they do not show function (pet scan needed for that). However, ct may detect an anatomical abnormality (like an arteriovenous malformation) that might be a seizure focus. Work-up for new-onset seizures usually includes an eeg.
