If this is true, that all 3 of these people are God, then God sent Himself (Jesus) to earth to die, obviously, he had a choice... to kill myself or to not kill myself. This is suicide. Isn't suicide a sin?

Yes.

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

How this works is not fully known and is one the Christian mysteries.

There is a story told about St Augustine:

Augustine was walking along the seashore trying to figure out the mystery of the Holy Trinity and came up to a little boy. The boy was trying to pour the ocean into a hole in the sand with a seashell. Augustine told the boy what he was doing was impossible. Then the little boy told Augustine that it is also impossible for the mind of man to try to understand the mystery of the Holy Trinity. The little boy turned into an angel and disappeared.

The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals and Episcopalians.

With love in Christ.

Your premise is flawed from the outset.

Jesus permitted himself to be put to death by the forces of evil, so all of mankind could be saved from Satan, sin, and death, as nobody had the right to take the life of a sinless man, let alone the only begotten son of God.

That is not suicide.

In any case, it is impossible for God to commit a sin.

You may be lucky though, being ignorant (through no fault of your own) isn't a sin, either.

No. This is not true. They are three. God is the true God. Jesus is his prophet and messenger, and the holy spirit is the archangel Gabriel. So one divine, one human, and one angel.
