1. If God is absolutely sovereign, does He not then have the power and authority to give us free will?

Of course. But some people don't want free will. They would rather wash their hands of it.

It would seem to me that the same people who can not see that God may use our freedom in advancing His Will are the same who do not grasp that He uses our humanity to acheive humanity's salvation.

2. Does God always get what He wants?

Ultimately, yes. The better question is "do we know what He wants all the time"?

Does God want people to be damned to hell for all eternity? Or is it His wish that all be saved?
