Would there have been a struggle for the caliphate if Muhammad had named a successor before death?

From the Shiite perspective, Mohammed did name a successor, 'Ali, and there was still a struggle. The struggle came from the fact that the other Muslims did not want a relative of Mohammed's (his nephew) to succeed him, but rather someone more capable as a leader. From the Sunni perspective, it is debatable. There are those who believe that Shoura (a council of tribal leaders electing a successor) was what would have been the proper way to proceed regardless of whether Mohammed had specifically chosen a successor or not. On the flip side, there are many Sunnis that would have seen Mohammed personally appointing a successor to be one more Hadith of the Prophet that should be respected and followed. From a Historical Perspective, it is more than likely. Whoever the successor to Mohammed would be, this person would be in charge of controlling all of the various Arabian tribes that were fighting each other for centuries before Mohammed united them under one religion and one banner. Wielding that kind of power would be very attractive to anyone close enough to Mohammed to have a chance at succeding him. It only took three decades after Mohammed's death to have a full-blown war between different Caliphal traditions when two of the three had no representation at the Shoura that elected Abu Bakr in 633 CE.

When did the Sunni-Shiite division occur?

The divisions started in 632, after the death of Mohammed. It is largely about the succession of power. The shi'a believed that the successor should be a member of Mohammed's family and the Sunni's believed that it should be someone the community believed to be the best leader. The Sunni's won the first go around, but assassinations, wars and other means of conflict have continued for centuries.
