I have signed NDAs in which I have agreed not to disclose interview questions I was asked, and I think NDAs are a fair solution to this problem. The only potential problem for an organization like Airbnb is that it can require a lot of infrastructure and legal horsepower, which perhaps only larger companies have the luxury of.

How could such an NDA be enforced? You generally wouldn't have any way of proving who leaked the question (unless you ask every candidate a unique question), and even if you did spend the time and expense to litigate against the leaker, it would be hard to convince a jury that disclosing the question would have incurred a non-trivial loss for the company.

If an interviewer asked me to sign an NDA, I'd think the company was run by a bunch of crazy control-freaks and walk out.

This is somewhat standard practice. At Google/Facebook campuses you have to agree to an NDA in order to print out your guest badge.
