2) google sre book is good but only part of the battle. It's great for mentality and approach but it won't cover the nitty gritty. Go read branden gregs from Netflix work on performance troubleshooting and the high scalability blog.
3) depends on the company. Since SWEs outnumber SRE you'll find that if the SRE org hasn't done it's work to prove its worth you'll be looked at as an ops monkey. This is the worst. But if the SWE org values you you'll be seen as an indispensable partner. This also applies team to team.
4) unless your going heavy on the swe side your programming interview will be more practical (rotate logs, reimplement basic unix tooling, etc) coding is only 1 of 4 key topics for sre. Got to know system design, core Linux principles, and system troubleshooting both single system and distributed.
