I agree with this - practice some of the standard questions for an interview, and try to have a few questions prepared to ask the panel back. I just recently started a new job, and went through a few interviews before making my move. I felt a lot more confident and comfortable in the later interviews since I had practice from the first few.
Ask follow-up questions back to keep the conversation two-sided, remember you're interviewing them as well. Understand what changes, if any, are expected for the role now that your old boss is on his way out. Keep the responsibility expectations commensurate with the salary they offer.
