Where did The Byzantine Empire began as the eastern half of the?
During the decline of the Roman Empire, the empire was split into a western and eastern half. The capital of the western half was Rome, until it was invaded and captured by the visa-goths from modern day Germany.

The eastern half of the Roman Empire named after its fall is mostly the Ottoman Empire. Edit: The area of the former empire is still known in Turkish and other oriental languages as Rum (pronounced room). Thus the famous writer Jalaludin Rumi is named after the area in modern Turkey where he lived for most of his life (born in what is now Afghanistan).
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.

Which continents did the Byzantine Empire spread?
The Byzantine Empire did not spread. This is a term which had been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman empire after the fall of the western part of this empire. At the beginning this so-called Byzantine Empire had already reached it greater extent. In included Egypt, in north Africa, modern Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, western Jordan, Syria and Turkey in Asia and much of the Balkan Peninsula in south-eastern Europe. It then gradually lost its territories to the Arabs, the Slavs and the Turks.
What effect did the Byzantine Empire have on Eastern Europe?
I'm not a historian so I might be wrong, but I believe it had almost no effect on modern day east-Europe. After the Muslims invaded the empire, most of the byzantine culture had been destroyed and by the time constantinopel (the last byzantine city standing) fell, the Muslims had overrun the byzatine culture. Some traces of the byzantine culture can be spotted with orthodox christians. Another point is, that the byzantine empire was centered in the extreme south-east of Europe (in somewhat modern day turkey and Greece), so there was little influence from the byzantine empire to the region of modern day Hungary, Romania, slowakia, Poland,... because the empire was mainly surrounded by the black sea, mountains (the balkans) and open plains (inhabbited).
Capital of the Byzantine Empire?
Constantinople. Now modern day Istanbul
