In the Bible it stated that when Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree, that sin and death came into the picture.
What do you think happened that gave death to become a part of life, or existence?
What other stories or facts from other books that describe death in detail?
And since it is a broad topic,
Is there any other questions that I have not thought of on this topic that I should be asking?

In much the same way as darkness is the absence of light. Death is the absence of life.
If God is our life-giver, then if we are not connected to him and deriving our life from him, we will be like the battery that isn't recharged, and just runs down.
Adam and Eve were connected, until they chose to disobey God. As we were all born after they sinned (and the wages of sin is death, as the Bible says in Romans 6:23) then right from our birth we were batteries running down. But that verse goes on to say, 'But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord'. God not only supplies the battery recharging unit, but plugs us into it. So perhaps your next question should be, 'Am I plugged in to the source of life or not?'

death has always been a part of life, the OT story about Adam and Eve is just an attempt to show how humans supposedly blew it, that we once could have lived forever. It is all nonsense. Don't believe it, it is a fairy tale.

For a deeper insight to death read some Terry Pratchett -
Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music - In fact any of the others as Death's in most of them! He's very funny!

1Cor.15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

We do not understand everything that is in the bible stories, but I have always believed that it referred to a type of spiritual death. One theory says that there are two kinds of grace that we receive from God, actual grace and santifying grace. We receive actual grace anytime we perform a good act. In addition to the actual grace we receive santifying grace until we sin. when we sin we lose santifying grace until we ask for God's forgiveness. When Adam sinned he lost his santifying grace (a type of spiritual death) and brought sin into the world for himself and his decedents. Christ is considered the new Adam. Because of His divinity He is head of the human race. His death on the cross atoned for the sin of Adam and all the sins of mankind.

When we became conscious.
Eating from the Tree of Knowledge describes the birth of consciousness.
With consciousness comes the awareness of mortality.
And bad acts.
God gave us Spirit (consciousness), but is not held accountable for the "bad acts."
Therefore Man is Sinful...from birth.

You have already answered the question of how death came into the world. Sin is death.

death is the only thing we can take for granted in life, to me there's no afterlife, we only live ONCE, gotta live like there's no tomorrow
