While there have been and still are different sizes/styles of zerks, I seriously doubt that that make you gun stick.
Some grease guns have adjustable "jaws" in the nipple to grab the zerk, but release it when needed. My cheap grease gun is the same as yours. No way to adjust it and you have to push/pull/twist the thing and hold your tongue just right to get it to come back off.
I would either look for a different gun(if you have the money) or just be patient with your's. I have found that they are all a little different, but usually the same motion gets them off; I rock and twist at a pretty steep angle.
As for getting the broken zerk out, an extractor ( maybe an ez-out) will pull it right out. I shouldn't be rusted in since its surrounded by grease. If that doesn't work, try a left hand drill a size smaller than the body of the zerk. Last resort it just drill and retap. HTH
