@ DP, I get to your questions as soon as I can, but will give the progression of when the disciples were called.
Mark 1:16-20, Luke 5:4-11, John 1:43-52) Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist and heard John proclaim Jesus as the Messiah. Andrew went to meet Jesus, then went to Peter and told him about Jesus and peter went to meet Jesus. The next day Jesus asked Phillip to follow Him, Phillip went to Nathanael and told him about Jesus, Nathanael went to meet Jesus.
Matthew 4:18-22) Later Jesus called Andrew and Peter to follow Him and within a short time that day call James and John who were brothers to follow Him.
Matthew 9:9, Mark 2:13-17, Luke 5:27) Then Jesus called Matthew to follow Him, this was after the Sermon on the Mount and was before the Sermon on the Plain. These were the only ones called by name that Jesus approached to follow Him. There were many who were following Him and they were all called disciples.
Luke 6: 12-17) The Apostles, which are the Twelve were called on the mountain the morning of the Sermon on the Plain.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
