No, you cannot apply other college for accommodation during that period of interview.

Yes, you can choose interview location (HK or UK) in your application form. However, their final decision will depend on different college and subjects.

應該冇問題，我都係炒DSE 之後報A level

Strictly speaking, you are a repeater (炒DSE 之後報A level). Sorry to day that I think your chance of getting an Oxford interview is close to 0.

真心，我炒嘅係中文.......

真心. Oxbridge dislike students with 2nd attempts. If you did apply only with your (if) extraordinary outstanding DSE result (but only failed Chinese), maybe the chance is better.

如果香港傳統中學讀完中四或中五，到英國讀A level，報Oxford 或Cambridge或其他大學會唔會因為無GCSE成績 ...

Can't say it is 蝕底 or not. But it definitely helps your application if you have very good GCSE or A/S result before your actual A-levels exam.

Just look at a fact about Cambridge admission system for reference. There is a pooling system, and so there is a so called Compulsory Pooling Criteria that they say

"All applicants in this round (except those for Mathematics and Medicine) who are not offered places by their preference Colleges but have attained an overall average of 93% or more in their three best AS Level subjects [or SUMS for named courses] MUST be pooled."

"In the case of post-qualification applicants the equivalent criterion is: A*,A*,A* or better at A Level and in the case of students applying for the science courses listed in the previous paragraph the A*A*A* must be in three science or mathematics subjects. This criterion should be used regardless of whether the applicant’s AS/A2 modules would have warranted compulsory pooling.
Post-qualification International Baccalaureate applicants (except those for Mathematics and Medicine) who have achieved both 42 points (or better) overall and 7,7,6 (or better) at Higher Level MUST be pooled."
