Answer 1
The Sabbath and Jewish holy days are positioned in the calendar according to explicit verses in the Torah. The intercalation of leap years in order to reconcile the lunar and solar twelve months is based on the God-given Oral Torah and has been practiced since the beginning of Jewish history. The Shulkhan Arukh (code of Jewish law), for example, includes a calendar schedule covering hundreds of years.
Answer 2
The previous answer contains accurate traditional information, but doesn't answer this question. The Jewish calendar was developed by Ancient Hebrews thousands of years ago, but it predates the Torah, so we don't know exacty who developed it or when. We do know that the calendar was not standardized until the early part of the Common Era; in Biblical times, months and years could have varying numbers of days.
Answer 3
While the timing and dating of the months comes from the Biblical exhortations in Numbers (i.e. have this holiday on the tenth day of the seventh month etc.), the names of the months were taken from the Babylonian calendar.
