2.) Not sure how you have an 'internal' customer facing tool? But the important part was it was customer facing production code.
3.) You may not be able to mention company name - depends on your contracts/ndas/etc.
4.)This is all redundant. You already said it was a client on-boarding system - leave some details to talk about at the interview
