Is the female coupling on a fire hose lead you to the nozzle or to the engine?

The female coupling connects to the engine (nozzles have female couplings, engine apparatus usually has male connections), so the male coupling always points towards the fire. With that, if you're following a hose, say out of a building, you would want to find the male coupling and follow the hose behind the male coupling.

Is it okay to connect copper pipe to brass to galvanized to brass and back to copper or will it cause a reaction that will corrode the pipes?

If you do connect copper pipe to galvanized pipe, you will need a dielectric coupling or else the galvanized pipe will corrode. Same with connecting galvanized pipe to brass fittings. Brass is an alloy that contains copper and therefore the same electrolytic properties will exist unless a dielectric coupling is used. Hope that helps you out.
