Plan interviews around your current job. You don't have to tell them what's going on outside of work. But don't call in sick; that could jeopardize your current job and you want to be sure to leave on good terms.

I would schedule the next couple of Fridays off, and say you are just wanting three day weekends for a while, then when you speak with the other company, volunteer that Friday is the only day. Most potential employers will work with you.
I don't mind doing late or early interviews. So do be afraid to ask or offer that you don't mind doing a 7am deal (even if you don't, do it anyway) or 5:30 at night. You an also offer up lunch for an interview.
The company I work for now we had to be flexible both ways. I was traveling and the interviewer was busy. But I got the job.

As a Vice President of a large construction company, here is my advice. Line up your interviews at lunch, in your car, with your cell phone. Line a few up for a day. Then either take a personal day or vacation day and go do it. I would never e-mail a resume to someone from work..... I just fired someone last week for doing that very same thing. If you're looking.....that's fine, but don't do it on company time..
Another thing..... why are you looking? A good employer will value someone who comes and asks about an issue that is troubling them first... it shows maturity. If there is an issue with your supervisor, then go to the HR dept or a peer. The key here is communication. Companies pay thousands to hire and retain good people. If you're good, then the company will address your issues, one way or the other.

I would try to do the interviews after work on lunch break or on your days off. I wouldn't miss too many days for interviews it might look bad on your record.
