I transferred my zucchini wine to the secondary and the recipe (from Jack Keller) said to use the liquid from the squeezed fruit and veggies to top off after racking. Should I refrigerate this "top-off liquid"?

Yes, if you still have some left. Or better, freeze it since it will be at least 60 days since you rack again and need to top off.
 
I'm confused with this whole top off thing. Why wouldn't you simply squeeze the fruit and put everything into the secondary?
