Wow, that's some really crazy stuff going on! I'm sorry you have to deal with nutso coworkers. I'd go to your boss and play dumb, just say "hey, Jan offered me this extra work and said it was okay for me to do it, but I wanted to check with you first, since I think this is the stuff I'm not supposed to do until my results are in." Yeah, you might get him in trouble, but if he's pulling shady s**t your boss should know about it, especially if your boss is also his boss. I'm not too good at office politics, though, so hopefully some other women here will have more input for you.
Also, disregard anything personal Jan tells you. Just don't listen to him when he's telling you stories. you can be polite but dismissive. If you feel you need more prep for this upcoming interview, go to your boss (or someone else above you in the company with whom you feel comfortable) and ask for their input as to what you can do to make yourself a more attractive candidate in the interview.
