Is it possible to capture on Mobile Broadband Interface (Windows 7) ? If yes, any specific procedure? It does not appear in the list of available interfaces.

Unfortunately, no, as per Question 5 in the WinPcap FAQ:

Windows Vista and more recent. It's not possible to capture on PPP/VPN connections on these operating systems.

("telephone-based" interfaces, such as dial-up modems and mobile phone and, I think, WiMax devices, show up as PPP interfaces).
