Not if you can compress your thinking it into something short. Good code interviews test communication skills too.

No, they don't, generally. When was the last time you were required to compose code in a real world situation, in front of someone, while talking through your thought process, all under time pressure and in a high-stakes environment?

Every time I pair program. Also sometimes I've given talks that way. I like it, I guess not everybody does.

Any time you want to rubber duck because there's a hard problem you can't figure out and talking it through with someone else is useful.
