Meg is correct. You will be briefed. Listen to the assistants.
However here are some pointers as I've seen and had private audience with both Pope JPII and Pope BXVI.
1) Say "Your Holiness" or "Most Holy Father" .
2) Make a low bow, or go down on one knee, when being presented to the pontiff. Once again, disregard your religious affiliation.
3) Take the pope's right hand and kiss his ring if you're a Catholic.
4) Take and shake the pope's right hand if you're not a Catholic.
Wear appropriate and respectable attire. You WILL be booted out if you do not do this. So no jeans and tshirts. Wear a nice suit if your a guy, and nice dress covering your shoulders and past your knees if your a woman, I personally have worn my chapel veil, both times and both Popes loved it.

If I were you maybe you may call him Holy Father. You may also say Your Holiness. Then maybe do what they tell you if you are going to be briefed.
