Interview Help - Rising Sophmore economics major at a prestigious school

Hey everyone I have a few interviews scheduled for next week and I would appreciate some thoughts on my approach to them. I am a rising Sophomore economics major at a fairly prestigious school and had a Private Equity Internship this summer. This internship somewhat fell into my lap and I was extremely lucky to get it and have learned a lot from it. Next week I have interviews with an institutional equity trader, a prop shop founder, and a hedge fund partner. I am not looking for internships, but rather info on those areas of business. I was wondering what types of questions I should be asking these people ie :What drives you every day
What makes your company better than the rest
What separates the good from the great in all of the positions
What types of classes should I take if I want to be in this job at some point in my career.

Do you think I should ask similar questions to this or more technical questions even though I have very very limited knowledge of these particular branches of finance.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the long post
