Typically I do the interview first, then think about the question. But in order to do that I have to go to this Forum section, make the thread, then input a link into the Featured User template thing. It doesn't sound like much I know, but while I do care about the Featured User interview as my last vestige of relevance to SNN... it can be kind of tedious to get the formatting and the poll all set up as they should be. Especially since I end up doing it in the middle of the night.

TL;DR is there any way to smooth out the process, like the old way that used the template talk page?

Uh, there is an entire bored dedicated to the Question of the Month. It's as simple as creating a thread on the forum board and linking it. I don't think anyone would agree with the statement that the current method is hard to use. In fact, it's more convenient for those trying to respond to the question of the month. It doesn't matter if it's not as convenient for you personally when it's easier for everyone else. I don't think anyone else would complain about this method being difficult if they were the ones to do the Featured User interview. The Question and Answers board is for users who want to ask questions in general.

QotM board is used on the front page where after featured user, a question is asked for the community.

Personally, I don't see why not these boards can't be merged.

They could be merged, but that's irrelevant because it would not make the question of the month "easier" to use. It's just a matter of linking to a thread.

For example: Last Halloweens Questions. Can still work on the main page.

I agree, which is why I don't understand why Kagimizu is having difficulties linking to a thread.
