Greek followed after Hebrew in the 1st century B.C. I looked up evidence and saw that not only was Greek inspired from the pictograph of Hebrew, Greek was inspired from Phoenician language which was inspired from Egyptian, which was inspired from the Hebrew. Hebrew then gains a foothold as the oldest language in the world, being that it has more than twenty forms, as handed down by the fathers and improved.
One thing, though, Greek has been in parts of The Bible in Paul's Epistles when he went to Greece.
It's not actually possible to know, since both spoken languages are older than their written forms.
But if you're just talking about ancient examples of writing: the oldest Hebrew writing artifacts date back to about the 11th century BCE and Ge'ez artifacts date to about the 10th century BCE, so it is really too close to call.
Yes, ancient Greek comes before Latin; in fact, Latin derives from Greek.
No, (at least, according to available information) Hebrew is older.
