Default Corrosion on hot water heater pipes

Is this hot water heater pipe corrosion normal?

(1) Needs to be connected by a nipple, only brass available

(2) Will the new brass nipple corrode just like the old did?

(3) Hot water outlet nipple seems to be steel?

(4) New & old nipples are both brass so why corrode?

(5) Cold water inlet has less corrosion it seems but why?
