Remember, God's original purpose was for them to live forever on a paradise earth, fill it with perfect people and take care of the earth. Life in heaven was not an option for them.
What do you think ?

No. There would be no need to. Our original design was to live on earth. Sin equals Death. And when God make a plan, I'm sure he sees it through. (Even if it takes 6000 years)

I can't say for sure, it turned out this way. I think that no one would have died but I do believe they would have went to heaven - overpopulation could've become a major problem. Perhaps when they served their time here on earth bring glory to God they would have been rewarded with heaven and taken like Enoch or Elijah.
I can't wait for heaven not because of the golden streets but because I want to see God! He is 'awesome' in every sense of the word!

Great question!
I would guess that since heaven had to be a place before Adam and Eve and since even in the Garden of Eden accidents would have to happen and someone would accidentally die, then yes they would have went to heaven.

I think that heaven is whereever God is. God walked with them in the Garden of Eden, so it was a heaven on earth. If everything down here were perfect as it was in the garden, we wouldn't need to go to Heaven.

You kinda answered it.
If they hadn't sinned we'd all be perfect, right? So, with that in mind, since the "wages sin pays is death", there would be no reason to pay for our sin because it wouldn't exist, so no death.
Furthermore, those that would be in heaven are to be appointed as ambassadors for us, but if we were still perfect we wouldn't need them to "run interference" for us.

To the contrary.
Adam and Eve lived far longer on earth before they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil - from which they inverted and became separated from God and died.
They actually had children before the fall. They were called "sons of God."
Genesis 6:1, 2, 4
"And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown."
The Apostle Paul made reference to them, saying that the sons of God born to Adam and Eve (before the fall), also died.
Romans 5:12-14
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses....,
even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
(This is refering to the sons of God born to Adam and Eve before the fall who did not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil).
In reference to your suggestion that heaven was not an option to Adam and Eve:
Had Adam and Eve both ate from the tree of life (when they came into being) instead of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (at a later time), the celestial kingdom of God would have been established through them on earth; and the human race would have been born unto God, and would have joined with the celestial sons of God.
Adam and Eve in their pure state was able to see God and angels naturally and communicate to each other telepathically with their spirit bodies. Had they ate from the tree of life, their bodies would have transcended to the glorified state that Jesus' body consisted of when He rose from the dead.
That would have been the reality of the human race.

Eternity was the garden of Eden, heaven was and is where God walks so Eden was the eternal place and they were removed from God eternal place by sin and Jesus had to die and rise again for His blood to cover us and atone us to be with God for eternity.

Well, if no one ever committed the first sin, Adam and Eve would still be here.

If they hadn't sinned, the word "anyone" would have circumscribed to Adam and Eve.
