"hajimemashite watashi mo XXXX desu, dozoyoroshiko onegai shimasu"
to give a good impression and then follow by normal english to the local manager and finally saying Watashi wa nihongo ga sukoshi wakarimasu and Eigo desu ka ?

the main mode of communication is english or i should just totally forget it and speak in english.
Is the interview for an English teacher?

Isn't a "manager" and "boss" the same?

Probably "hello, nice to meet you" with a hand shake.

Forget the JP formalities as you are not Japanese and I guess they wouldn't expect it from you.

You may make yourself look like a shcmuck if you attempt the local lingo
