Yeah most people meet their partner through their peer group. Ask her stuff when you meet, most people love to talk about themselves. Don't go full sleaze "you are so beautiful", if you want to give a compliment say something about how that dress looks very nice on her.
Your number one question can be "so, how do you know X (= friend that set you up)"

Here is a list of questions / topics that you can talk about:
1: work. where does she work, what does she do.
2: after work, does she have any hobbies? What are yours?
3: living area, where in town, is it nice there, did she have trouble finding the appartement
4: animals, does she like them, which ones
5: brothers/sisters, do they get along great, what do they do
You'll notice as you talk along that you have somethings to chip in on some topics, if so, then do, otherwise it's just an interview. If she says that she likes to read and so do you, talk books, bookshops, latest books, great places for books and coffee, crappy bookshops etc.
If she mentions another subject while answering, you can zoom in on that.

Things to avoid on first date are the hot topics of politics and religion, unless that is super important to you.

Does this friend know you? It might be strange to text someone who didn't know their number was given out or if they don't know the person texting them.

No, she doesn't know me. I'm her friend's boyfriend's friend.

But I'd guess she would warn her or at least ask her if she wanted me to know her number.

When I say "she gave me her number" I mean my friend's girlfriend did - she didn't give me her friend's number straight away!
