a. For the interview, put yourself in character. Think like the character. The questions ought to be related to the characters attitudes. For instance, asking Kate what did she intend on doing on her honeymoon? or what changes did she anticipate in marriage?

b. I cant help you on your understanding of the battle of the sexes, however, in the quote...remember how Petruchio got involved in the plot? How did Kate's father relate to Petruchio's need to tame her? Is this related to nowaday issues in marriage?

No need to stress out on this, it is a fun assignment.
