Did Isaiah prophesy the countenance of Jesus who was undergoing Passion?

What "most people agree" is completely irrelevant. What matters is what the Word of God tells us, as read through the eyes of the Patristic Church.
Isaiah describes a man who was not compelling by force of "great looks" (like Saul) but because He was obviously of God (like David). Since Jesus was (and is) the Son of God, God the Son, Second Person of he Holy Trinity, His aspect would have been compelling whatever His physical appearance was like.
The closest approximation we have of what the Lord looked like in life is the original Pantocrator icon, which is taken from the Divine Image on the Shroud of Turin.
Hope this helps!
in Christ,
