I thankfully still have an interview scheduled for an in-house AD role. How do I diplomatically find out from the hiring manager (who’s the head of brand) how much creative leeway i’m gonna get?

If it’s not going to make a difference whether you accept the job, then don’t ask. We are on the cusp of a huge recession. Don’t rock the boat with such a question.

Ask about priorities and what their goals are for the team for the year. I usually find this helps get a sense. (New projects, ideas, focus for 2020, etc.) But agree with CD1 otherwise.

Find a more delicate way to phrase the question without sounding like you're putting your ego ahead of the client/agency. Maybe make it about your enthusiasm to win the agency awards.

You could ask for a rundown of what a “typical project” is like there, and fish for “so, someone in my position would get to___/would be responsible for___/has the freedom to___/etc”

But ... I agree with CD1; only ask if it’s going to actually change your decision.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?
