No. He is a coordinator . You will get to know the interviewer only once you enter the zoom call.

for previous round admitted, is there any chance that the final decision will be released before the indicated date on the website?

The head of admission (my interviewer) said they can because they wanted you to have all the options available before making a fair decision

but if the reason isnt reasonable I guess they could refuse to do so

I suppose the interviewer just wanted to know your movitation and how you made your decisions in your past life. Your interviewer is the admission officer or alumni?
