1. Yes. Just monitor an FM broadcast from your normal commercial station with the meters on a cassette recorder or a CD Burner. There's very little level change.
Just saying "compression" is added is overly simplistic. In order:
1. Phase rotator
2. AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
3. Stereo 'enhancement'
4. EQ (Equalization)
5. Multiband compression & limiting
6. Pre-emphasis & HF limiting
7. Clipping
See the linky below for a rather technical discussion of these stages.
Then look at Orban products; the Optimod-FMxxxx series
"Could you use more punch? More sizzle? More overall loudness to grab and hold dial surfers? A cleaner, purer signal for a discriminating classical audience? Or just extended geographic reach?"

2. Sibilance. I think of sibilance only as it applies to the human voice. ("Esss words".) Can't say I've heard the term applied to music, but now I'll keep an ear out for it.
Radio station turntables?? Maybe with the exception of some specialized vinyl-only programming, radio is 99.x% digital files either broadcast directly, or bounced via microwave relay to a nearby mountain top translator/repeater.
The playlist is assembled days or weeks in advance. That's why you can go to a radio station website, see the playlist, and the time the song was played down the second.
