So I am new to smoking meats, I have been tasked with making 2 tenderloins and I am really not sure too confident about it... and I can't seem to find anything that jumps out at me.

Should I brine or no?

BBQ sauce or no?

Any tips?
 
For pork tenderloin, I usually just do a dry brine of 1/2 tsp kosher salt per lb at least 12 hours before cooking. Rub with some black pepper,  then smoke till internal of about 135-140, then sear. Try not to get the final temp above 145. I wouldn't use bbq sauce. I like it either plain or with a mustard based glaze/sauce.
