I actually don't think the technical questions are a bad idea. The main problem is the question itself is always so far out from what the job actually does. When I do interviews I ask a rather simple question that I can expand to be more complex based on the role and how they perform. I don't expect you to do perfect, I open up with this when asking. The test is mostly can you form any amount of coherent logic to solve the problem and can you ask the right questions.
Even if you are applying as a junior I/we expect you to be able to form a few lines of code with explanations in about an hour. Yes it is stressful, yes you will make mistakes ( I usually point out syntax issues or typos, cause really it just wastes time I trust you can fix them if given a longer time ). This is not the only interview it is just one part, you do talk with a tech lead for other stuff.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
