If you aren't sure what a team lead does, why do you want the role? Are you doing it just for better pay? I recommend you look into the job description to see if it aligns with your current skills and growth. Most Team Leads are like Supervisors that will monitor the team to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to, one on ones, team meetings, creating training materials, reviewing KPIs, handling escalations etc.
Try your best and stay calm in the interview, but keep expectations realistic. Statistically moving from one corporation to another gives you a better chance of promotion than trying to climb one corporate ladder. That said, I'd talk to your supervisor/manager about a career path. Ask to shadow an existing successful person in the role you want, and ask for development and feedback as to what they feel you need to do to develop or learn to be successful in that role.
Also make sure you are at least meeting if not exceeding all pertinent metrics
Have you tried talking to someone who is currently in the role or who has done it before so that you have a good understanding of what it entails? I'd start there. Then put together some questions regarding the role, or even better, put together a 30-60-90 day goal plan for what you want to accomplish once in the position. This way, when the interviewer asks what questions you have, you are able to ask thoughtful questions that show you took a genuine interest and put forth the effort to learn before the interview. Having formulated a goal plan in place also demonstrates that you are serious and dedicated to the position.
