What I am left with is an email where I must confirm the interview date with job B. I would like to request more information but I am unsure how in the proper way. Also, when I get the formal offer from job A, how should I ask for time and if they deny that, should I accept?
This question gets asked and answered in the negotiations megathread on a regular basis. Skim a couple pages of that thread and you'll probably get more perspective, but here's a quick summary:
-Pursue both jobs with the full intent of taking either until you have a negotiated offer, have cleared all requirements (background check, references checked, etc.), and have a start date
-Asking for time to review an offer is completely acceptable, but don't accept an offer with the intention of buying more time. Things like that really piss people off, and you don't want that reputation.
-Glassdoor is a steaming pile of poo poo
