This looks like red rust to me. Photo is blurry.
I don't see the rust in the photo, but if you see firsthand i don't doubt you.
I would try spraying on WD-40 and really letting it soak in for a bit before brushing.
As for steel wool, 0000 or even 000 grade should not cause any damage, at least not in my experience. As always, work slowly and carefully.
