1. Satan can come in many forms. He was cast down on earth when he got kicked out of heaven.
2. Eve and Adam had free will. She also switched God's words around and that's how Satan lead her into a trap. She said that they might die. God said that you will die.
3. Everyone who enters this earth is spiritually dead. What Adam and Eve did, influences us. Alot of things happened as soon as Adam and Eve ate the fruit. You still are going to sin because that event haapen on Earth and we are going to make mistakes now. When you are baptized, you are baptized by grace. Your spirit is no longer dead and would not perish, it has eternal life and is not in Satan's hands anymore because you are with God now, and Satan is defeated.
You have to repent of your sins if you sinned. God said no one is perfect and everyone is going to follow short in his presence.
