Yes. They are close synonyms. The American Heritage dictionary lists "calm, peaceful, placid, serene, tranquil" as synonyms, and doesn't mention any differences in meaning.
"Peaceful" is a more common, more everyday word. "Tranquil" is slightly fancier, more literary.

Yes tranquil or peaceful are both good.
