There are plenty of stories that predate STAR WARS that have a main character captured and then interrogated/tortured by the main bad guy in his lair.

True, but no other story besides TFA and ANH itself shares the same settings and plot points here.
You said Anakin loosing his hand mirrors the OT, but this plot point itself is not entire new as well. Was it borrowed? Yep, and you said it yourself. So if you say this is borrowing, than Rey/Leia’s capture is borrowing as well.

Also lets not forget that Leia was interrogated about the location of the Rebel base whereas Rey and Poe were interrogated about the map to Skywalker.

They were both interrogated on the hidden data that drove the main plot, it’s the same plot point. Is it actually slightly different? Yes, and so it was for example Anakin’s defeat in AOTC from Luke’s defeat in TESB, but nevertheless it borrowed from a previous SW movie.
