If I use Snapcaster Mage to flashback Force of Will am I still allowed to counter using the 1 life and 1 blue card exile cost instead of the full mana cost?
No, as Snapcaster gives it flashback with cost equal to the card's cmc, which is in and of itself an alternate casting cost, you are required to pay that when flashing it back.
No, you cannot.
Snapcaster Mage's triggered ability gives the targeted card flashback with a cost equal to its mana cost. This doesn't allow you to cast it with alternate costs, but it does allow you to pay Kicker and Buyback costs (although Buyback wouldn't do anything)
