While the whole story of Adam and Eve is not referred to as the Fall, the section where they disobeyed God is so called because this was when sin entered into the perfect world. Sin and all its effects are degenerative in nature. Formerly, the world was a perfect place and Adam and Eve were in a perfect relationship with God. When sin entered the world, this relationship was then broken. They had fallen from perfection and grace.

Do you capitalize the fall as in the Fall of Adam?

If you are referring to the Fall of Mankind, then yes, capitalize it. However, the fall of Adam or fall of Eve is not capitalized. My best thought on this is that the Fall of Mankind references a major theological event whereas the individual sins of any person (including Adam and/or Eve) represent only the fall of that individual. In the case of Adam and Eve it's a little weird since their falls are also the Fall, but the Fall of Mankind is essentially both of those together, not the individual acts.


Did Adam and Eve sacrifice?

After the fall? We are not told if they did or did not. But we can assume they did, their children did and presumably Adam and Eve instructed their children how to maintain their relationship with God.
