I have bad corrosion where my copper pipe meets the steel tankless hot water coil. Do I need dielectrics unions? If so, do they need to be between the steel and the copper?

Yes you do need dielectric unions anywhere copper and galvanized steel meet because the two metals are not compatible and will cause electrolysis.
