Where does international law come from?
International law comes from a combination of international treaties, custom, general principles of law, and the actions and agreements of states. It is often based on the consent of states to be bound by the rules and norms established through international agreements. International organizations like the United Nations also play a role in shaping and interpreting international law.

What are advantages of codifying international law?
Codifying international law mostly happens with bilateral/multilateral treaties in which states give their "consent to be bound" to that particular treaty with respect to article 26 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969 -- 'pacta sunt servanda' that roughly means that treaties are binding agreements. On the contrary, international customary law (another source of international law, see article 38 Statute of the International Court of Justice) is not codified. That doesn't mean it's not binding (in some cases, like the peremptory norm, it very much is binding for everyone), but chances are that there is too much doubt concerning the legal security of a particular norm. Therefore, in order to be sure that a norm has a binding character for the states which agree thereto, codifying rules of international law creates legal security.

Is international law really law?
International law, at least that contained in treaties, is not actual law. Depending on where you're from, it may have a different position in the hierarchy of norms though (i.e. the 'ranking' of the law). Also, international law is generally much more difficult to enforce than national law. Finally, the application of international law is often very much dependent on the political climate. For instance, whether a UN security council resolution has any practical effect on a country upon which sanctions are imposed depends entirely on whether the members of the UN are willing to actively impose them.
