It is known as sacrifice or self-sacrifice (e.g., fasting). The most extreme example of self-sacrifice for God is the willingness to give one's life rather than cede to demands to change one's religious beliefs under pressure, which is called martyrdom.
An offering to God of something precious to us is a symbolic gesture of our gratitude, love, and devotion. It can be a way to show our commitment and faith by giving up something valuable as a sign of reverence and surrender to a higher power.
To sacrifice is to make an offering, or to give up something for the sake of another. For example, the offering may be food that's offered to a god. The denial of something for another person may be the 40 days of Lent, in which Christians focus on the basics, and do without the luxuries, in remembrance of the sufferings of Jesus the Christ on their behalf.

If you believe people made up the concept of God, then people also made up "the will of the supreme being." If you believe that God is a real supreme being, then the will of the supreme being was not given to God, but something God possesses and man simply recognizes.
No. From a Christian perspective, idolatry is worshipping something instead of God, putting something or someone in the place God should be in your life. If by "making up stories," you mean lying, then it is a sin, yes, but it would be the sin of lying, not of idolatry.
