Every company I've worked at has shared board slides (usually slimmed down for time and to remove any personnel info, but with all the key financial info there). Transparency is a huge deal for me and tells me a lot about the value of the founders. Also, "if you need this information you'd probably be on the board" is just wrong - if you're compensating someone in equity, they need to understand the financials of the business to value your offer. "What keeps you up at night" is also a very common question... obviously within the context of an interview, the candidate isn't asking about problems with your marriage or your health or whatever other personal issue you might be thinking of. Typical answers I've heard are figuring out how to scale, hiring fast while maintaining a high quality bar and moving up market. Knowing what the CEO is concerned about is a totally reasonable and relevant piece of knowledge for picking a company.
