Supervisor writes things for me

This isn't standard practice and like what the previous posts have said I am not sure it is a good thing in the long term as it could prevent you from developing your own style. Sometimes I get really frustrated when my supervisors try to get me to write in their style, so I can end up with 5 people telling me to write things in 5 different ways! Also it can sometimes be quite obvious where things have been written by someone else so that is something that you'll have to bear in mind! But on the plus side it does save you time lol!!

Funded Studentship Interview

There have been questions like this before so you might be able to search to get more answers.

But basically, you will probably be asked some questions regarding your understanding of what the project involves but i wouldn't imagine it to be too intense. so just make sure that you more or less understand everything that is in the project proposal. They will then ask you things about your past experience and background. But in my experience they will be more interested in your character and motivation for doing a PhD. They will also want to ensure that you know what you are getting yourself into :)

I doubt to be honest that they will have a protocol to send out to interviewees.
