On the second point, that whole god is unchanging spiel is untrue. If one reads the bible, god does change. In fact, he went from being a psychotic tyrant in the old testament to a hippie socialist as jesus in the new testament.
Still the same God. For the God you are describing is the same God who provided for one to attone for sins then and now. The only difference is Christ was the perfect attonement and the blood of animals would only go so far. Without what Christ did, God would still be the OT God.
