Wizards and Spellbooks: Wizards start with a standard spellbook containing all 0-level PHB spells and 3 plus Intelligence modifier 1st-level spells.

As stated in the Player’s Handbook, at each new wizard level a wizard can add two spells of his or her choice for free.

They may also have as many levels of spell as ranks they have in Spellcraft. For example, a 1st-level wizard with 4 ranks in Spellcraft can have four extra 1st-level spells in his spellbook.

A 3rd-level character with 6 ranks can have six extra 1st-level spells, four extra 1st-level spells and an extra 2nd-level spell, two extra 1st-level spells and two extra 2nd-level spells, or three extra 3rd-level spells, and so on. If a wizard wants to add more spells to his spellbook above and beyond this, those spells must be paid for at the standard 100 gp for each page from the EV

I am interpreting this as not only does a wizard get 3 + int and 2 per level spells, he also gains spellrank spell levels as bonus spells known. Is that right? I am assuming that the 3 x 3rd level = 9 spell levels is a typo.

And next question: are spells considered wholly or in part re-toolable?

Yes, you get the normal starting spells plus the 2 per level plus your ranks in Spellcraft. Your spell choices are retoolable.
