It's not illegal for an employer to know these things, just illegal for them to use them in making their hiring decisions. On the job application form "gender" and "ethnicity" are usually optional and are there as a way of collecting the personnel info that will be needed if the person is hired. (Sometimes that information is also collected as a way of monitoring to ensure that all applicants ARE treated fairly without discrimination.) But asking about it in an interview is much more questionable; with very few exceptions there would not be a justifiable, legal reason to ask for an applicant's sex or gender during an interview, only discriminatory reasons.
