I don't believe the bible specifically states his forgiving them, but according to the bible, if we confess our sins he will forgive them. So if Adam and Eve were sorry and confessed their sins to God which I believe they were according to their actions thereafter. I believe they were forgiven. 1 John 1:9 says that "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden not because God did not forgive them but because there are consequences to our choices and actions. I read through the beginning of genesis because of your question and found nothing that would lead me to believe he had not forgiven them. As a matter of fact, God still communicated with them and their children after they sinned. He also provided Adam and Eve with clothes. If we as parents and sinners can forgive our children when they do wrong. How much greater is God's grace to us his children.

Yes. What you don't understand is that partaking of the forbidden fruit was actually part of the plan. God knew that eventually they would eat the fruit. When they did, they received the consequence of their transgression. From that point on, Adam was honored by God as the father of our family and will yet dine with the Savior and all of his righteous posterity to present his family to the Savior for presentation to the Father. Most of what we know about Adam comes from modern revelation and not from the Bible. Bible quotes talk about the Ancient of Days, and about Michael the Archangel, both names for Adam.
The reason we seal our families together is so that we can have an unbroken chain of posterity/ancestry back to Father Adam and Mother Eve.

Yes, He did. Even though they sinned, God gave them the skins of animals to cover themselves, and something had to die and shed it blood for the sin they committed. Moreover, remember the punishment God gave to Adam and the women. Adam would have to work by the sweat of his brow and Eve would have pain in child bearing. So, God chastised them for their disobedience. But, if they were not forgiven, then death would have been the penalty of their sin. For the scripture said in Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death..". And, from reading the scripture, Adam went on to live for some 900 years.

In reality, There was no adam and eve. They were characters created with Gods inspiration to tell a story of the devils evil and manipulative ways. If they did exist however, and repented for their sins, than the spoils of the earth shall be theirs!

Adam and Eve were not literal creatures. Be that as it may, even if the Creation story happened literally, no one can answer this question. If something isn't written in the Bible, doesn't mean it didn't happen. I don't remember anything in the Bible about God forgiving Adam & Eve, my guess is because they didn't literally exist.

1 Peter 4:6
It was up to Adam and Eve if they accepted Christ when they were preached to. All have had the opportunity to accept Christ's blood for remission of sins. Or they will have at some point. Father is just.

If you look at the scriptures you can see that he did. It took death and blood to redeem them.
After they realized they were naked they were ashamed and made clothes for themselves.
Then God reclothed them in animal skins.
A person needs to ask where the the animal skins come from. The answer, most scholars believe, that God made the first sacrifice to cover the shame of man. Then, many years later, God became the LAST sacrifice needed to cover the shame of man.

Yes. In Arabia, there is a pillar which marks the spot Adam stood when God forgave him. It is part of the Hajj pilgrimage Muslims perform each year.
