There are many ways to try to reconcile inconsistencies in the story of Adam and Eve, but a difference in ages of 400 years probably does not achieve much. It certainly does not resolve the problem of Adam being earlier than all other living creatures, when we know that not to be the case.

Genesis itself eliminates the possiblity of Adam being so much older than Eve, while throwing up new problems. Verse 5:3 says that Adam was only 130 years old when Seth, his third son, was born. He lived another 800 years after the birth of Seth and died at the age of 930 years. If taken literally, Adam was certainly much less than 130 years older than Eve.

Why was Adam created outside of Eden?

I'm not sure we know that Adam was created outside of Eden. There was a geographical location called Eden and there was a garden called Eden. All scripture tells us is that God created Adam and put him in the Garden of Eden. He probably was created out of the ground in Eden and then placed in God's Garden of Eden. Regardless of where Adam was created I am not aware that there is any significance to Adam being created outside or inside Eden.
