No, Germany did not invade Austria during World War I. In fact, Austria-Hungary was an ally of Germany at the time, and both countries were part of the Central Powers. The war was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, which led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia, prompting the involvement of Germany and other nations.
They both wanted dominance of the Balkans. Austria-Hungary controlled Bosnia and Herzegovina were there were a large number of ethnic Serbs. So Serbia believed they should control this area. In Russia at the time there was a belief in pan-Slavism (that all the Slavs in the world should help each other, in this case Russia should help Serbia). So when Austria-Hungary threatened to invade Serbia if its demands were not met in 1914 Russia came to help its ally and "Slav brother" Serbia, this would also serve to give Russia dominance in the Balkans.
It was a World War because a man killed the archduke of Austria-Hungary in Sebia. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Serbia had an alliance with Russia and then Russia joined the war. Russia was in the Triple Entante and pulled Britain and France into the war. Austria-Hungary had alliances with Germany and the Ottoman Empire. They also joined the war. That is why World War I was a world war.
Austria-Hungary attempted to invade Serbia during World War One.
