As far as the binding agent for the salt and pepper, is it ok to use mayonnaise or just use olive oil?

It's probably "OK," but why?

Why do you need a binding agent for salt and pepper?

Follow a reputable method for such a pricey cut. LINK

why don't you tell us how you plan on cooking it.

either way, ive never used anything to make the salt and pepper stick to a tenderloin.

My Dad has always cooked them on a barrel pit using charcoal and indirect heat (with the tenderloin on the side of the charcoal rather than over it). He just turns it around a few times, not over, but just changing sides. He covers it in lemon pepper before cooking, but has never used anything to get the seasoning to adhere. There's always a nice seasoned crust. Just rub the seasoning in. Should work fine.

I have heard of people putting mayo on halibut before baking but never beef.

I believe on Halibut it's more of a puffy golden topping when baked. On beef, I would think the mayo might get brown, but I'm not sure the meat would if covered in mayo.
