You want that information, but it makes you sound like a deadbeat to
focus on that sort of thing.

If you want the job, the way to take charge of the interview is to
presume you already have the job and this is your first day and you
are asking the questions needed to get started. This will indirectly
answer many of the questions you have on your list.

It is a standard selling technique, presume the customer has already
said yes to the sale.

You sound eager. You come across the exact opposite of a slacker. You
learn some detail.

You can say things like, "I want to make sure this job is challenging
enough.". In a stroke they stop worrying if you can handle the job,
and start worrying if you are overqualified.
