For #4 it can be tricky for a lot of people which aren't trained for it.

When they ask, 'how's everything going today' especially if its on Monday, I tend to reference something similar to:

"Still feeling good off a 2nd place finish this past week at a golf tournament." if I can sense they like golf or if I can sense they follow football I'll mention "Still trying to get over the loss the Cowboy's had this weekend" and also ask 'wbu'.

If they like the sport, or enjoy it, they'll get more into it and ask you about it.

Piece of cake.

"It is better to have a friendship based on business, than a business based on friendship." - Rockefeller. "Live fast, die hard. Leave a good looking body." - Navy SEAL
 

When I read #2, my first thoughts were "OP's asking us to chew something for breath". On a similar note, DO chew something minty before the interview. If we are 'eating' something, our brain goes through the following thought process: "I would not be eating if I were in danger. So I must not be in danger". Really helps with the nervousness, not to mention that it'll also make your breath fresh!
