How does Sartre know that he exists? It just seems like to me that he is replacing the concept of the essence of God simply, and eternally existing with the existence of man as a given that is taken for granted. I understand the concept, or at least I think I do of our choices following from our existence, but how do we know what choices to make? Did he think that our choices are somehow predetermined, or did he think the people have free will to do as they wish?

No - you're mixing up what's on the left side (which has to do with Sartre's existentialist perspective) with what's on the right side.
