I'm curious if there's a risk of getting a virus just from watching or interacting with videos on TikTok, like pausing or rewinding them. Is it possible to pick up malware this way?

It seems pretty safe overall. Unless there’s some crazy new exploit that hasn’t been discovered yet, TikTok videos themselves won't hack you. Just be cautious about clicking on links or ads.
Not likely! TikTok doesn't allow you to download anything harmful. The videos you view are just cached and don't carry any malicious files. So, unless you click on something weird, you should be fine.
You really can't get malware just from watching videos on TikTok. The danger mainly comes if you click on ads or download sketchy apps from links you find there.
