Don't know how things work in the US, but over here in the UK, companies are normally happier about interviewing people who are already employed.  The general attitude is the 'best' people are employable.  If a company interviews someone who's not got a job, they start to wonder why this person hasn't got a job - perhaps they're a problem employee.  And most companies understand the need to be discreet when phoning a potential candidate at work, and will ask if it's OK to speak.  So, don't worry about putting your work number down.

I an assuming you don't have a cell phone?  Most people in the UK do, and often give that number out if they don't want to use the work one - it also means you can be contacted any time, no matter where you are.  It's useful when you're arranging interviews.

THey will ask you why you want to leave your current position, but it sounds like you've got valid reasons, so that's OK.

Getting a hotmail address or yahoo address is a good idea, too - you can access these email addresses from any computer, so if you have friends and relatives who will let you borrow their PC, you can check your emails regularly, without having to do it at work.
