an Eruv is a legal loophole that allows traditional Jews to carry objects outdoors during the Sabbath. It is usually a wire, stretched around a neighborhood, town, or district, creating a "private place".
Jewish law forbids carrying objects from a private place into a public place during the Sabbath.

Do you need to do Eruv Tavshilin if you don't need to cook for Shabbat?
Even those who don't have to cook for Shabbat, still need to do Eruv Tavshilin in order to light Shabbat candles (from an existing flame.) Source: http://halocho.blogspot.com/2009/04/halocho-304-rare-mitzvah-eruv-tavshilin.html If you have no need to do any Melacha for Shabbat at all, then you do not need to make Eruv Tavshilin - and if you still want to, you may not make a Bracha.

Can you tie a string to a tree and make it part of an eruv?
Just tying a string to a tree would not be a valid eruv. One needs to have a "Tzruat Petach" which means that it needs to appear similar to a doorway with a "lechi" which is the doorpost and the "mashkof" which in this case would be the string.So one needs to affix to the tree a post, such as a piece of wood. One would then attach the string directly above this post.
How do Jews transport goods on Sabbath?
Assuming that you are referring to Orthodox Jews, they generally do not transport goods on Shabbat. The day is a day on which work ceases. However, within cities and smaller towns with a large Jewish presence, there is typically an "eruv" (עירוב) which is a ritual enclosure that permits Jews to treat a large area of a city as a communal space in which things may be carried. However, the Jews will only transport what desperately needs transporting, such as religious books, religious paraphernalia, and baby strollers. As a matter of course, they do not transport consumer goods on Shabbat, even within an eruv.

What are the laws that Pharisees made?
Most of the laws discussed by the Pharisees are found in the Torah or were extrapolated from the Torah. There are a few, however, described as rabbinic laws: Wash your hands before eating bread. The laws of eruv -- how to arrange things so you can carry something on the Sabbath. The requirement to recite a blessing before eating or other pleasurable activities. Lighting candles (or other lamps) on the eve of the Sabbath and festivals. All the rules for celebrating Purim. All the rules for celebrating Hanukkah. The inclusion of the Hallel psalms in the synagogue liturgy for festivals.
Can orthodox Jews use an umbrella on the sabbath?
No - because doing so would contradict melachah, the prohibition against carrying out deliberate activity during Shabbat, which includes a law against carrying any item from a private place into a public place or for any distance further than four cubits within the public place. It is possible to get around this prohibition by establishing an eruv, a legal aggregation of land property within a chatzer (literally "walled courtyard"). Rabbinical discussion has ruled that a chatzer can be defined not just as walled courtyard but any area that can be enclosed within a continuous wall or fence - this can be made up just not of the walls of exiting properties but also by wire used to symbolise walls, including utility wires such as electricity and telephone cables. As such, it is very easy to declare the urban areas within which many Jews live to be eruvim, allowing the Jews who live within the boundaries to transport items such as baby carriages, disabled wheelchairs and umbrellas out of their homes.
