Which pins connect to the microcontroller and the DB9 port?
Connect the microcontroller's TX to the driver input (T1IN) and its RX to the receiver output (R1OUT). On the RS-232 side, T1OUT goes to the PC's RX line and R1IN receives the PC's TX line through a DB9 connector.
Does it need external components?
Yes. The charge pump requires external capacitors on the C1, C2 and V+/V- pins. The datasheet's typical application uses 0.1µF capacitors, so follow the datasheet values for your circuit.
