First of all, you have to ask yourself again, is this really a company/school you’d like to work with? If their other employees are so distracted and disorganized, is that something you want to be a part of?
If you still decide that is a palce you’d like to be, it is definitely fair to contact the school directly. Discuss your thoughts and experiences with the HR department, the principal, etc. Request another interview.
Chances are that everyone else interviewed responded to the man the same way you did. I would certainly be uncomfortable.

The good news is that the situation was beyond your control and you did the right the by plugging away and answering their questions. I’m not sure this is the kind of place I’d want to work. It sounds unprofessional AND unappealing. But, first impressions can sometimes be deceiving.
Yes, they should have asked him to leave. For his sake. For their sake. And, above all, for the sake of the candidates applying for the job.
I hope the interview went okay for you– aside from the weirdness of their part.
There’s a good website I found with lots of information on teaching interviews and jobs… maybe it will be helpful to you. http://www.teachinginterview.com
Hope the next interview is better for you.
