Yes the Sun would have formed first. The entire Solar System was formed from a cloud of gas and dust more or less 4.6 billion years ago. First the center of this cloud compressed to form the Sun, and then the rest of the material began to orbit it and eventually became the planets and other Solar System bodies.

It wasn't anything as such. There was just matter there. That matter came together, forming the sun and the planets, their satellites and the other items in the solar system.
