Was the second covenant the old testament or the New Testament?
God made many covenants in the Old Testament, but I assume you are speaking about the "New Covenant" vs the "Old Covenant" which God gave Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai.

The "New Covenant" started in the New Testament when Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary, was buried, and was resurrected the third day. The 'Old Covenant" was by Law and the "New Covenant" was by grace.

What do you called to old and New Testament?
Your is question is a bit ambiguous so I'll assume what you're trying to ask is: A) What is the book that contains the Old and the New Testaments called? B) Why do we distinguish between "Old" and "New" Testaments of the Bible. So the answer(s) will be: A) The Holy Bible B) The Old Testament is the Hebrew (or Jewish) Bible. It is for this reason sometimes referred to as the Jewish or Judaic Testament. In the Christian Bible, Twenty Seven new books are added to this Jewish canon and we call these books collectively as the New Testament. And of course, there is a time gap between the composition of both the Testaments. AND A testament is an agreement or covenant. God made a covenant with the nation of Israel. Lev 26:12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. This is the old covenant / testament Because the nation of Israel turned away from God and failed to keep their part of the covenant, God made it possible for all people to have a relationship with him through His Son Jesus. Heb 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. This is the new covenant/ testament.
What was the first covenant made between God and Abraham?
The second covenant was not made between God and Abraham. It was made between God & Moses at Mount Sinai. This is where the ten commandments originated.
The outward sign of the covenant between God and the Hebrews was?
In the Old Testament, the covenant between Yahweh and His people Israel (the Hebrews) progressed through multiple stages, and at least two signs were attached to it. When God called Abraham and established a covenant with Abraham and his descendants, He appointed circumcision as the sign of the covenant: "You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between me and you" (Genesis 17:11 ESV). Circumcision is the most prominent "sign" of the covenant between God and the Hebrews. However, at Mount Sinai, God also established the Sabbath as a sign or token of His covenant with Israel; see Exodus 31:12-18 and Ezekiel 20:11-20. (Earlier on, the rainbow had functioned as the sign of God's covenant with Noah and his family; see Gen. 9:17.)
