Yes he is legally required to give you a good faith estimate within 3 days, this is required so that you get an estimate of what your costs will be and give you a chance to shop around.
As far as loan options, ask him about different programs and payments. Maybe he is only willing to do what you ask him and he is not going to go the extra effort to analyze your situtation and see which loan program might be best for your situation.
Once you've put in an offer and its been accepted, let your mortgage broker know so that he can finalize with you which loan program you want and lock in the rate.
Good luck.
