No! Steel is a very bad choice for Plumbing, as it rusts and can poison your water. PVC, copper, or clay pipes are recommended for plumbing.

The making of stainless steel pipe is a long and intense process. There is a piece of round bar that is heated at first and then a mandrel is inserted into it giving it a round and hollow shape. Due to its irregular shape the pipe is rolled continuously and cooled down with chilled water for making it hard. And of course the stainless steel pipe is safe for drinking water as it is resistant to corrosion and is much durable.
I would use hot water conn. on it. Both on cold and hot
Yes . So far most of the plants use only carbon steel
poly venal chloride
Galvanized pipe will be silver/gray color. Copper will be copper. Use a magnet, it'll stick to galvanized pipe but not to copper. Drinking water lines should not be black steel pipe.
pipe dope and teflon tape
Absolutely Not!

In this scenario, the steel pipe will likely corrode faster than the brass tap due to galvanic corrosion. When dissimilar metals are in contact in the presence of an electrolyte (such as water), an electrochemical reaction occurs, causing the steel to degrade. To prevent this, it's important to use proper corrosion inhibitors or coatings to protect the steel pipe.

Use PVC for the drain line. It does not require insulation.
poly venal chloride
There are instances when corrosion occurs at the junction of a carbon steel pipe and a brass valve. This is often the result of a pipe threading failure.
Not sure what you mean by pressure fittings. Threaded fittings for steel pipe are pressure fittings. Steel pipe with a 3/4" O.D. is known as 1/2" I.P.S. (Iron Pipe Size) pipe.
