Before connecting the two sections of pipe together, is there something that the surface of the pipe should be coated with that ends up inside the fitting before connecting the two?

No! Do not use pipe dope or Teflon Tape on a compression ferrule. Good luck, Tom

Sharkbite connectors might be a better solution for you. Don't really know about your application.
