For the more formal look, it would be great if you could find a three piece, but I'd probably leave the vest out more of the time anyways, so don't make that a sticking point. For colour, navy and charcoal are the most versatile. Avoid pinstripe if at all possible though. However I'd say that getting something with a proper fit is the most important aspect to look out for (after making sure that everything's in good condition, of course). A poorly fitted jacket or pants will make you stick out like a sore thumb (of course, a tailor can make minor alterations, but even then you'll want to get as close as possible first).
No time for tailoring unfortunately. Nor do I know of any in town (Don't live there YET (two weeks))
Unless it's looking like it will rain (I love a brimmed hat in the rain), I'd also drop the trilby. Maybe you can actually pull that kind of hat off, but 90% of those who think they can, can't. If you do want to go for it though, make sure to be wearing a jacket.
Shame as I feel so naked without one as I wear a shaved head. It would come off just before the interview, but again, just so odd without it...
While you're at the thrift store, also keep an eye out for khakis and a decent white dress shirt.
I might have a white one around but it just seems way to typical. Blue isn't "OMG outta the norm", just different.

Not met, good try though. However, here's the maroon/white as best I could get it
