Stick to the facts i would say. You were given visa though it was rejected. They have an entire history of yours. Why would you lie  on DS160

Answer will be 'No' I think, as you had F1 and then it is changed H1

There is one caveat in the latest in person interview waiver notification wordings. here is that. 

"Have been issued any type of visa previously; have never been had a visa refused unless the visa refusal has since been overcome or waived; and have no apparent or potential ineligibility;"

You have received the F1 stamping in the second attempt. So, hopefully, that means your initial visa refusal was overcome. I donno how to interpret that highlighted sentence. some one else can chime in.. Or, contact your attorney on this.
