If you’re in the final round, they’re essentially just seeing whether they like you. I wouldn’t expect too many technicals. Just have your story down to a tee, be thoughtful, and shine

If 2+ people submit a referral on your behalf at their company for a position you recently applied for, does it make you stand out even more/increase your chances of getting an interview vs. just 1?

How does the referral system work? Should I apply from the website and then ask for a referral or is there a chance to ask for an employee to refer internally? Would the latter option be considered ahead of the first option?
