I'm a Christian and this confuses me.
Wasn't God alone befor ehe created anything.
And wasn't the devil just a human that died and later tried to take over Heaven?

You are a little mistaken my friend. Angels were always angels and never humans. Its a common misconception. Lucifer had already been cast out of heaven by this time. Lucifer was Gods most beautiful and perfect angel, but he became to proud of himself and thought he could run heaven better than God. He was in Eden by Gods choice to test Adam and Eve and unfortunately they failed.

Lucifer, the most beautiful of all God's angels sinned (pride), took 1/3 of angels with him and God cast them out of heaven to earth. They were angels turned bad =demons. This happened before the garden of Eden, Adam and Eve. The devil was never human. Lucifer, the angel, is now the fallen angel, the devil named Satan. At Jesus' 2nd Coming, Jesus will cast Satan to hell until Jesus 1000 yr reign on earth is nearly over. Satan will be loosed for a short while on the earth to tempt the humans who were alive at the end of the Tribulation or were born during the 1000 yr Millenium and then finally satan will be cast into the Lake of eternal fire forever. If you don't understand some of this, read Revelation or talk to someone who has read and can tell you about it or get involved in a Revelation bible study. David Jeremiah wrote a book "Escape the coming night" that explains it well.

First, remember that Satan is a fallen angel. Angels have always had the ability to manifest themselves on earth and return to be in the presence of God. Second, Revelation is not entirely a book of the future, but a brief overview of history past, present, and future. Note the verse about the woman giving birth to the child and the dragon waiting to devour him before he was taken up. This reference to Jesus is past history. Much of the rest of the book is about the future. So the question becomes "When was Satan cast from heaven?". It's almost a moot point regarding this particular question since angels are spiritual creatures on a different order than humans and are not bound by space and time as we understand it.

devil's ban from Heaven would have been mentioned in Revelations, even though it grow to be additionally mentioned earlier that for the duration of Isaiah and Ezekiel. better than that, the communicate of the devil in Revelations focuses completely on him being chained up for the duration of the Millenial Kingdom and then forged into the lake of hearth for all eternity. And the explanation the Bible talks approximately devil tricking Adam and Eve in Genesis, and then later talks approximately his fall from Heaven, is through the fact the Bible isn't written from initiating to end interior the order of which all the events of those situations occurred. It jumps around alot, through fact there are a number of authors. even though it remains all tied mutually.

God created Angels. Satan was an angel that wanted to be like God. He and about a third of the angels that followed him are fallen, and known as demons. All this was before He created Eden and Adam and Eve.

Lucifer was an angel that got kicked out of heaven, he was never human. He also didn't like the fact that God favored humans.
In Revelations satan will finally be chained and thrown into a lake of fire.

satan is a fallen angel kicked out of heaven. he was the covering cherub and a worship angel. he was never human. he tried to take over God's throne because he wanted to be worshiped as God...he was lifted up in his own pride. God was indeed "alone" before anything else existed. Now, satan was kicked out of heaven (meaning the place where God's throne is) and he was cast down to earth where he is now "the prince of the power of the air." In Revelation, he is kicked out of heaven meaning the heavens below God's throne...the "atmosphere" of earth...and then eventually he will be kicked out of earth straight into the lake of fire.

according to islam. god of corse was alone, then god created angels. angels do not have free will. then god created jinn. this is another life force. i suggest you look it up to understand that one better. it is very comlex and would involve you to read more. how ever long story as short as i can get it here. the devil was jomm who was created with free will. after the creation of jinn then man was created. the devil tricked adam and eve into eating the apple because it was the devils way of taking revenge on man kind. the devil was cocky and stated to god that he was better then man kind. hense the reason he was thrown out of heaven. god allowed the devil access to adam and eve to tempt them into eating the apple in which they did hense giving us the trouble we now have to face. the devil stated to god when kicked out that he was going to take as many souls with him to hell, of corse god allowed him to do so.

"Let US create God in OUR image..."
No, he wasn't alone. God was either talking to angels or other deities when he made this statement. Since he said "our" image, we can take them to be relatives of God, and since the writers of these stories assumed command authority whenever deities created something (meaning they didn't just create, they commanded others to do the building for them), we can assume that whomever he was talking to were under his authority, as if he were their father.
That means he was talking to angels, not deities.
