I am a developer for Cognito Forms. We do not offer the ability to transfer the choice field on one form into another form. You can however let users type in their own choice by selecting Radio Buttons as the type and then checking the box next to "Allow Fill In".
Users will then be able to select a blank text box and type in their own information.
We use JSON as our data transmission format when posting data to a client's site. When we post to a website we post as JSON. You will need to parse that data on your end. You can have your form post to requestb.in to see what the data looks like.

This is a great idea and is a feature we are going to look into in the future. You can follow our progress for this feature over on our Idea Board.

We do not have a built in limit for the number of Choice field options that can be added. We have tested up to 1000, but more can be used. I would like to note that adding large numbers can cause a slow down based on individual users computer, and internet connection.
