That really sounds like break dust. Mine require a blast from a high power hose after every winter. I clean 'em when I swap my tires. Most brake pads have small metal studs that will make a grindy noise if you're pads are wearing down. By all means ask at the garage, but the long wear pads do tend to make your brakes squeak so I wouldn't worry too much.
If they want to charge you anything close to 700 this time... get a second opinion.
