I checked out the appraiser they want to use, and it' actually the same guy I was gearing up to hire before they offered to pay the fee. For the purposes of my original question, I think that we can reasonably assume that the appraiser is fully independent and is not "in league" with the insurance company or anything like that.
As far as being polite with the agent, I feel as though I have been firm but not overtly aggressive or anything like that. It's also entirely possible that I'm being massively over-paranoid about all this. I do tend to get a little obsessive about things from time to time and overthink them.
