To a large extent, the Jewish religion was redefined during and after the Babylonian Exile. Angels were never emntioned in any book written prior to the Exile, there was no belief in heaven as a place of reward, merely sheol, and many other changes arose during this period. Some scholars even contend that monotheism was really introduced during the Exile, then written back into the Book of Kings, although the majority view is that Judaism had already been monotheistic since the time of King Josiah.
A:Yes. The Ten Commandments are found in the book of Exodus, written some two centuries before the Babylonian Exile and based on even older oral legends about Moses.

All Jews are Hebrews. Jesus was both a Jew and a Hebrew. The term "Jew" referred to the people of Judea, of which Jesus was a member, and was used as early as the fourth century BCE (including in the book of Esther). All Jews were Hebrews (since a Hebrew is any descendant of Eber and Eber is an ancestor of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the ancestors of the Jews), but not all Hebrews were Jews. Jesus was also more strongly aligned with the Pharisees he rejected than any of the other contemporaneous Jewish movements. Although the Pharisees would not become the dominant form of Judaism until the Talmud was published, their views and methods of interpretation were certainly well-developed by Jesus' time.

Yes, Judaism is the Hebrew religion.
Angels (Hebrew: malakhim) entered Jewish belief during the Babylonian Exile, and appear to parallel a similar concept in the Zoroastrian religion of the Persians.
The archaic Hebrew Alefbet is older, and not very different from the Phoenician Alefbet which developed at about the same time. The modern square Hebrew dates to the Babylonian Captivity, the letters are the same as the archaic ones. The Greeks seem to have gotten the idea of an alphabet from the Phoenicians, and went on to improve it by making some letters into real vowels.
The Hebrew religion is VERY old, there is no new religion that they are following. The religion of the Hebrews is Judaism.
