1. Yes.
Learn all that you can about the company, especially the division you will be working for. Throw the appropriate buzzwords around.

Get ready for a long interview with many people.

Dress perfectly, and I mean perfectly. Conservative, dark suit. Nothing flashy.

2. Suit with or without tie?
This is California, and I will be interviewing with Californians

It's also 75 F out during the day

3. Personally, and especially with a company like IBM
I would always error on the side of conservatism, and therefore, always wear a tie. JMO.
