agent didn’t have me sign an agreement prior to showing ?

My agent did not have us sign an agreement prior to showing us houses. We found a house and verbally made an offer. When he wrote up the offer he didn’t tell us that the selling agent had agreed to a 4% commission. He sent us the contract electronically with 1% of closing over the price we verbally agreed on and told us we would get the money back at closing. Not true. Are we stuck paying his fee now ?

Before you get involved with a real estate lawyer and their expense -- contact "your agents" broker in charge and explain the situation. A resolution may be easier than it appears. The broker in charge is responsible for the agent and will help resolve your concerns.
