A discount point is 1% of the mortgage loan.  Customers can pay discount points up front to reduce their interest rate.

On the interest rate question... it really depends on your credit score, LTV, program, loan amount, etc...  You could fill out a Zillow loan request while they are still free and see if your quote is competitive.
