The A&AM DCI Floor text states that:

"Pregame Procedures and Who Plays First
1. Players begin the pregame procedure by revealing their armies to each other.
2. A player rolls a d6 to determine which battle-map configuration and objective is to be fought over. These are found in the Axis and Allies Miniatures Advanced Rules booklet.
3. Players roll to determine who will deploy their army first. The winner of this roll deploys all of his or her units according to the setup rules, then the other player deploys all of his or her units according to the setup rules.
4. The person that deployed his or her army first then chooses who will play first."


Regarding step 3, each player rolls 2d6 and adds their commander initiative bonus to this roll, correct?

Regarding step 3, the person who has high roll deploys their force first. If, for whatever reason that player wanted to do otherwise, could that player elect to deploy second instead and have the low roller deploy first, or must the high roller always deploy first regardless of preferences?

Regarding the second portion of your question, the DCI AAM Floor Rules (http://www.wizards.com/dci/downloads/AAM_FLR_16sep05_EN.doc) don't make any allowance for passing first setup to your opponent. If you win the roll, you choose your side of the map and set up first. The tradeoff is that you also automatically have initiative on the first turn.
