From what I know being a PR does not offer any benefits and/or priorities. With regards to interviews. You get or you don't get an interview. If you get one you either pass or fail (the majority does pass). If you fail it's quite unlikely you'll get a spot, unless it's related to age deferral or possibly language. Once you get an interview you have about 80-90% chance (my personal experience) to get offered a spot. Once you apply again, you would have to interview for the following year (Y2), and then they'll test a few more things like reading, writing, basic math, etc.
As the overflow goes, there is hardly any this year, especially on the island. QBS has plenty of applicants to get through themselves so it's highly unlikely they'll be taking from other schools. Assume it's similar for most schools.

Starbucks2, the PIS schools under the ESF umbrella do prioritise parents who have residencies at full capacity and as I understood it, they are at capacity. ESF schools doesn't.
