Always ask to keep communications confidential!Not always implied. You can also always frame it as “having a conversation” not a formal interview if it ever leaked.

Definitely tell them it is confidential and no one should contact your current firm. While it is implied, you should be clear in this case.
Are any of the new firm’s partners friends with your partner (to the extent you know)? I would not interview someone from a good friend’s firm unless the candidate convinced me they were leaving no matter what. I imagine there are some who would call their friend and tell them that X applied for a job (I wouldn’t do that).
