This is a list of questions to prepare for a customer interview. Having a list of questions is great, and is highly recommended.
Going through your list of questions 1 by 1 sucks, and is not recommended.
Have a fun conversation. Be interested in your user. Try to understand what they are doing, and why.
It's a great opportunity to dive deeper into someone else's mindset and life -- It's an opportunity we don't get often, if you think about it.
