I would like to be able to input x-values and have the table display f(x), f'(x), and possibly f''(x) for a given function.

Try
In[1]:=Table[{f[x], f'[x], f''[x]}, {x, {1, 3, 5}}] // TableForm
Out[1]//TableForm = f[1]  f'[1]  f''[1]
                               f[3]   f'[3]  f''[3]
                               f[5]   f'[5]   f''[5]
