This is an appropriate choice. Barnabé thinks that he has already got the internship position, saying "that's why you're hiring me." This suggests that he is very self-assured, and thinks a lot of himself. "Self-assured" shares a similar meaning with "confident".
This is not a suitable choice. Barnabé does not act as if he is nervous during his interview. On the contrary his manner (or behaviour) is "relaxed" and "self-assured". A "nervous" person is one who is anxious or easily agitated. Example: Crossing the street makes me nervous.

The term is used in a negative way when describing Barnabé, although it can also be used positively: He is a very confident speaker and his presentations are very assured.
