With that last picture, I have no idea what you're showing.

In the first series of pictures, the thing that stuck out to me was the crossing branch coming off the first branch to the right. Cut that thing off yesterday. I'd be tempted to let the rest of the branches grow long like they are so that primary branching can begin. Decide which ones of those you want and remove the rest. You have a formal upright-ish looking start already. Its a little tall for that, but I think it'd be a little more cooperative in that style than in a broom which would be difficult with a species like sweet gum.
