or i should just speak in the default business english and don't impress at all in case i screwed up.
I would not use any Japanese you are not fully comfortable with. If the interview is to be conducted in English, then I would just speak English until the topic of Japanese comes up.

Stand up when he enters the room and do not sit down until he does
