Every human has the same level of free will although not the same level of knowledge which is where Jesus comes out ahead. Jesus knew where he fit in the grand plan and had known for centuries so he had plenty of prep time to stay perfect ensure his sacrifice was capable of redeeming mankind.
Free will does not have to have a connection to prophecy since it can be assumed that God will always know more even factoring in the choices we make.
Peter willingly chose to deny Jesus 3 times out of fear of the people. Jesus knowing that would happen does not change Peter being to fearful to admit being a disciple. He wasn't compelled to reject Jesus except based on his own concerns.
It is totally possible for Jesus to be wrong but highly unlikely given the amount of knowledge he had. There could not be much to tempt him in giving up what he had or what he would have in heaven.
That's an unusual stance within theology (that Jesus could be wrong) but I think it makes sense. Do you think God the Father could also get things wrong? It depends on how technical we get.
I say "No" simply because as the standard maker, God has no reason to do anything wrong.
He does have limitations in terms of what he can do but because he has the ability to know anything he wishes, he's a perfect judge of a situation. He doesn't need to assume anything because he can know anything.
Technically, people could argue that he could be wrong just when he changes his mind or feels regret, but those aren't really proofs of wrongdoing as much as they are proofs of his not being static and not basing things on predestination.
