2. Since you're going into marketing, you can be a bit more free than you would be in a financial/management environment, where peak lapels are typically reserved for the hedge fund managers/bosses and signal "fuck you" authority. Peak vs. notch has nothing to do with modernity, not sure where you picked that up.
3. If you want a technical answer to your question, no, the suit is not great for interviews. For interviews you want single breasted, notch lapel navy or charcoal suit. White/light blue shirt, and a subdued tie like a brown knit. Barrel cuffs, no cufflinks. No black suits, no peak lapels. If you want a practical answer, you are going to be just fine based on my two points above so don't fucking worry about it so much. If you do great in the interview and they don't hire you because you wore peak labels you probably don't want to work there anyway.

I am sure your closet is just busting out with Hickey Freeman suits............
I can wear whatever I want to work because I already have "fuck you authority", but it is pretty ignorant to take that approach. Who are you trying to alienate?
