Is Alpine compatible with Debian?

Short answer is no. You can search for Alpine with glibc support, there are some custom Alpine versions that include glibc out there.

What packages does Alpine Linux use?

Alpine Linux is a very simple distribution that will try to stay out of your way. It uses its own package manager called apk, the OpenRC init system, script driven set-ups and that's it!

apt-transport-https, as the name suggests, is some extension to apt, Debian's package tool. Alpine is not any mere Debian derivate, it doesn't use apt, so it doesn't make any sense to install apt-transport-https on Alpine.

software-properties-common is another package related to Debian and apt.

Why do you (think that you) need these packages on Alpine?
