does this mean that God was misleading them?

No, not at all. In my opinion, the God of the Bible (Hebrew Scriptures) is unequivocally clear that he is One God, has no sons, and that there are no other Gods.
The Messiah would be a human being. Not God.

A triune of gods is nothing new. Pagans had that belief for years. Horus, Isis, Osirus of Egypt for one example. It is not, however, a Biblical teaching. God, the creator, sent his son as a perfect ransom for what Adam lost (perfect, human, life and all his descendants) that's what Jesus gave up.
While on earth Jesus said there were things he did not know, only the father knew. How could that be if they were the same person? The son was promised that after his resurrection he would sit at the right hand of God and be a ruler which he is. He will soon take the earth back from Satan.
Many existing pagan beliefs and holidays (Easter, Xmas, Halloween) were incorporated into the Catholic Curch around the third century. It was a way of pulling in converts, but who converted, is the question.

No. God is One. But He exists as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit like we are made up of soul, body and spirit. We are still one person.

No! Jews don't believe that Jesus was the son of God, that's why they don't believe in the Trinity!

Nope, because the trinity is a false teaching. My previous answer should have made that clear...

No.
It means the trinitarians are lying to you and me.
