Long story short I am meeting with the CEO of my bank today...it is a one-on-one informal sort of introduction. Any advice on what I should say (i.e. questions to ask)?

What was the advice from the Goldman person in that recent article comparing Goldman to Google? "Always have a short pitch prepared about your current project in case you ride the elevator with the CEO."
On a side note, I work on the same floor as and sometimes eat near Dick Fuld, who at times has amost animalistic table manners.
Keep it informal, make a comment about how well the bank is doing, that you're enjoying the work, etc.
The hopefully, he says something to lead the conversation, as I expect he will.
That's the safest bet. Let me know if I'm correct.
You came to the right place my friend. Forget the above advice, ITS CRAP. You don't want to blend in, do you? Then its absolutely important that you make the right sort of impression - this is the CEO were talking about!
First thing is first, after you shake his hand make sure you immediately put the shaking hand in your mouth and smile. There will invariably be a short pause, after which he's going to ask what you're doing. Tell him you want to know what winner's sweat tastes like. If he doesn't react just laugh uncomfortably, people in power like that.
Next, let him know you've made diagrams of the path he takes through the building and that you've monitored his bathroom breaks just to make sure that he's staying regular and doesn't need any diet changes. It doesn't matter if you have, he will be flattered to know you care enough to lie.
Step three, ask him how attached his to his executive assistant. Then, and this is important, ask him if he/she has any food allergies that you can exploit. You should get really red faced after you say exploit, 'catch yourself', and say "erm... I mean that I should know about... for the next time we order out (long pause) so he/she doesn't die." Put extra emphasis on the word DIE. This will let him know that you feel possessive toward him.
These steps must be followed in order and explicitly. Bon chance and congratulations.
Brilliant!
