To move to a new country is a brave and exciting thing to do. Qatar is a very nice place to live in. English is very acceptable. To learn Arabic can only be a plus for you, the experience, your future. If you make the effort you can meet Arab people, it just depends on the effort you are willing to put into it. However my question would be do you have a job lined up or are you coming on the off chance?
Compounds are a group of houses in like a gated community. They are very common here as the usually have a clubhouse, pool etc for the residents to use. FYI all houses usually have walls around them anyway.
Classifieds you can see either here on QL - see for rent section, or go onto the Gulf Times newspaper website and check the classifieds. You should check out some of the other info sites on QL under Guide to Qatar heading.
