Can anyone tell me if 22 mm compression fittings are compatible with 3/4 inch pipe from the existing system installed around 1950?

No you need to get a smaller washer for the compression joint. Check out your local plumbing merchant.
Not really!
In an emergency they can be made to fit with a lot of PTFE tape.
Its better to use a special solder conversion coupler.
Its possible to get 3/4" olives to be used in a 22 mm compression fitting and they usually work ok. I would use them with care and silicone grease to lubricate the joint when tightening.
