A well known Jewish midrash has it that Abraham, while still a young boy, realised that his father's idols had no power, and perceived that there is but one God. If we give this legend any credence, we should be surprised that it was left to a young boy to reveal the truth about God, in the face of such overwhelming evidence as the Flood and the reliable, still living witnesses to that event.
Bruce Feiler (Abraham) says that probably less than one per cent of the stories told about Abraham appear in the Bible, with an explosion of detail beginning to appear in Jewish tradition from the third century BCE onwards. In contrast to the midrash, the Bible itself never credits Abraham with monotheistic beliefs. Abraham did not come up with the idea of a single God.

What did Abraham do that was good?
Abraham single-handedly opposed the ubiquitous idolatry of Nimrod. Wherever he went, he taught about the One God; so much so that he was revered as a Prince of God (Genesis ch.23). This act of public teaching is what is meant by "he called out in the name of the Lord" (Genesis ch.12). Abraham's fear of God was unparalled (Genesis ch.22).
Was there a punishment if Abraham broke his covenant with god?
Yes, if Abraham were to break his covenant with God, the consequences would likely involve a loss of the divine blessings and promises associated with that covenant. In biblical narratives, breaking the covenant could lead to a separation from God's favor and protection. However, the covenant with Abraham is often portrayed as unconditional, emphasizing God's commitment rather than Abraham's performance. Still, the idea of accountability within the covenant relationship remains significant in theological discussions.

What did god promise to Abraham if he killed Isaac?
God didn't promise Abraham anything. God just told him to sacrifice his son Isaac and Abraham, being obedient to God, was going to do what God told him to do. That is until God stopped him. God was seeing if Abraham would still be willing to obey God even if it meant killing his only son.
