re: How to address rust issue on new Remington 870 Express Youth?

Use 0000 or 000 steel wool with some hoppes #9 gun solvent to remove the rust. If you use steel wool that is coarser, you risk scratching the receiver.
In the future, wiping down the gun ahead of time with rem oil can help, but surface rust post shooting is something you will always be dealing with if the gun is not quickly dried and wiped. It is not a long term integrity issue and should be fairly easy to address each time.
ETA: the surface rust has only been a problem for me when the gun was shot in the rain or in a salt water environment. Normal dry usage should not regularly result in surface rust.

Solid advice above. Just make sure its fine steel wool.

One thing to understand: Bluing is a form of rust. Using a harsh chemical that can remove rust will also remove bluing.
I recommend using Flitz metal polish with a cloth before trying anything else. Much less aggressive but can often achieve superior results.
For more intense rust I would soak the area in Breakfree CLP and let sit overnight and then rub with a brass brush (not steel wool).
For severe rust I recommend the Breakfree CLP soak and then using the edge of brass case as a scraper to remove rust.
