I had my puppy for 3 days now and took him to the vet yesterday to have him checked. Vet says my pup has nystagmus ( http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/neurological/c_dg_nystagmus ). The breeder and I are trying to come to an agreement as to what should be the action to take. I decided to keep the puppy, and the breeder offered to refund some of my money.
The biggest question I have is, how much should I get back? Enough to cover partial treatment? or a percentage of the total I paid?
Clarify by spelling every little thing out. Some people can be extreme when drawing their own conclusions.

It depends on whether the puppies condition was noticeable before you were sold it / what the long-term prognosis is / are there any other neurological conditions present? What it said in the contract about illness - quite often by keeping pup you loose your right to even a partial refund, unless there is a number on the contract you are probably at the breeders mercy.
To be honest, are you prepared for said puppy to have a neurological condition for life - one that could get worse / shorten your dogs lifespan? I would give the puppy back or ask for a full refund - the dog cannot be resold in that condition and so is not worth anything.
Even a 100% refund would only scratch the surface of what his condition could end up costing. If you are determined to keep the pup try to get as much money back as you can.
