An interviewer must absolutely know what the T&C's are - sounds like your place is a bit of a shambles

Technical interviewers aren't going to know HR policies as they apply to other people - its HR's job to give them that information. I don't know how much time off a new hire might get, for example. But a helpful technical interviewer might say "oh we start off at five weeks a year" because that's what they started out with four years ago.
It's not even uncommon to be hired for one role and end up in another role for whatever reason.
Another thing is, policies change. Your interviewer could be grandfathered in and not know it (or know it, but don't mention it...). Or they could simply mention the last policy they remember, which isn't the current policy.
Some people also would rather just make up an answer rather than say "I don't know."

Job titles are not always correlated with job responsibilities. Hence we have "senior engineers" with a year experience. Title inflation is a real thing.
