According to CTCI, I should tell Interviewers if I know the questions. What do you guys think? What if I let interviewer know? Will they topically give me a new questions?

For example, with the easy house robber problem on leetcode, i would followup with things like returning the list of houses instead of just the max value, requiring K houses between each robbed one, implement a multithreaded approach, making test cases, etc.
Just play the game and pretend you haven't seen question before.
... That being said, it's the interviewers job to be able to follow up with unique things, to separate rote learners from people who actually know what they're doing.
