What do historians call the eastern roman empire?
Not sure what you mean by "new." Historically, it would be Byzantium.

How did the Byzantine Empire and Islamic Caliphates use religion in their own ways as explanation to spread their governorship?
Both the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Caliphates used the dominant religion (Orthodox Christianity and Sunni Islam respectively) to justify wars of conquest. The religious leadership also helped create an easy way of tracking individuals in the empire by centralizing worship and registries. The provincial divisions in the empire were reinforced by the hierarchical division of religious leaderships (Patriarchs/Synods and Muftis respectively). Additionally, the religions provided a code of ethics that would serve as a basis to the legal codices of the countries.
When was Byzantine Empire created?
You may not find total agreement on this answer, but I would have it begin in the year 476 with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The Byzantines did not call themselves Byzantines any more than the ancient Greeks called themselves Greeks. The Byzantine Empire is modern nomenclature to avoid confusion with the Eastern Roman Empire after the Roman Empire was divided, but before the Western Roman Empire fell.
Why was the Byzantine Empire considered a theocracy?
The Byzantine Empire (the surviving, and Greek, part of the Roman Empire) was not a theocracy; it had a secular ruler, not a priest as ruler. However, the Greek Orthodox Church had a significant role in Greek society, and in matters where the Church had a considerable interest, its concerns would have been taken into account, and even guided the ruler's decision. As the Byzantine Empire shrank over its 1000 year history, the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople came to be the undisputed head of the Church in the Byzantine Empire, but he was never actual or defacto ruler of the state.
In 330 what did Emperor Constantine do that led to the beginning of the Byzantine Empire?
Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped and renamed it Constantinople, after himself - Constantinople means city of Constantine. However, this did not lead to the beginning of the Byzantine Empire. In fact, the Byzantine Empire did not actually exist. This is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire and which became popular in the 19th century. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to talk of a "Byzantine" period. This started about a century later.

How did the Byzantine Empire influence Russian development?
Byzantine Influence: The Byzantine empire influenced the early Russians for many reasons. One was that they converted all the Slavs (Early Russians) to Christianity.

Did the Byzantine empire decline before or after Islam spread-?
The Byzantine Empire declined after Islam spread. The words "Islam spread" are nebulous. If the question is referring to the Rise of Islam period, when Mohammed and the Rightly-Guided Caliphs were spreading Islam, then yes, the Byzantine Empire decline after these events. If, however, you are referring to the Seljuk and Ottoman conquests of Anatolia nearly 600 years later which eventually ended the Byzantine Empire, the Empire was in decline long before these armies trampled the Byzantines to the ground.
