Does that mean that sin entered the world before Adam sinned?
Sin entered the world when Satan tried to usurp God's sovereign authority. But as to humans, yes, Eve was the first to sin. But her transgression did not have any direct effect on anyone but herself, in that she was not the Federal Head; Adam was and it was through him that the entire race was thrust into ruin.

And, also, did Eve fall in Adam, or did the imputation of Adam's sin only start with thier children?
Eve fell on her own, yet she also shared in Original Sin, which was God's punishment for Adam's transgression. I certainly am not going to be dogmatic about the relationship you are asking about. But one thing I am certain of, Eve was guilty of sin and suffered the loss of original righteousness (depravity) no differently than any other human being.

In His Grace,
