Those are very easy questions to answer. I take it the author has little experience with actual Christians.
To sum it up and not have to answer redundant questions, yes it was known by God that they would sin. The temptation of the forbidden fruit was a test that they would ultimately fail, but without such a test, there would be no measurable good in the world because there would be nothing to measure what is good if you don't have evil....what's the worth of someone if you don't have temptation and evil they have to deal with to show their ultimate character? You see similar motif in the recounting of Job's turmoil.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
