a) I have never heard anyone say Flight 77 was headed for the White House
I have, long before I was even aware of this conspriacy nonsense.
As early as the evening of 9/11 there were a several news outlets speculating that AA77's target was the White House but the hijackers had trouble locating it from the air and the Pentagon was either a backup or target of opportunity.
I don't know what they based the speculation on, but I definitely remember them talking about it.
