I’ve never seen TOS, so I know Captain Pike mostly from the Kelvin films. However, being a trek fan on the internet, I’ve gleaned some info hear and there about Pike
I just watched DIS season 2 episode 7 "Light and Shadows" and Burnham and Spock are I guess headed to Talos and I get this feeling that maybe I’m supposed to know more about Pike and Talos before this. DIS takes place before TOS so I just always assumed that TOS wasn’t "required reading" before watching DIS.
You don't really NEED to know it, but if you are curious you should watch the episode The Cage and the two part episode "The Menagerie" (in that order) . But besides the Pike story there are only few references towards other Star Trek Media. Season 3 Episode 3 for example is highly connected to Star Trek DS9 (but sadly filled with major continuity errors), but you would get the plot without seeing those older episodes.

If you mean what you should know about Captain Pike in anticipation of the Strange New Worlds series, then forget the Kelvin timeline.
Captain Pike wasn't originally going to be part of Star Trek canon - the pilot episode The Cage filmed prior to TOS and featuring Captain Pike was not originally shown. However, footage from it was subsequently used to form the two-part original series story The Menagerie, which brings the character and the story into canon.
With Captain Pike being a major character in Discovery there are basically three things that cover Captain Pike's story in the Prime universe. In production order those are:
I would recommend watching them in that order if you haven't already seen Discovery. If you have, you'll enjoy the old episodes just as much.
As the events of The Cage had evidently happened before the events in Discovery, the chronological order of Captain Pike's adventures in the Prime universe is:
This presumes that the upcoming SNW does not cover and go beyond the events of The Menagerie.
