1). Abraham did not sacrifice his son. God merely tested him, and then sent a ram to be sacrificed instead (Genesis ch.22).
2). "The Jews" of the time comprised 3 people ... Abraham, his wife, and his son.
Two of them accepted God's test unquestioningly. The third ... Abraham's wife ... must also have been in favor of it, because, as we know from at least two episodes earlier in Genesis, when she saw fit to urge a particular action, Abraham listened carefully to her opinion and complied with it. So we may safely assume that she did nothing to stop it.
Answer:Actually, the Midrash (traditional Rabbinic commentary) relates that Abraham concealed the Akeida (the above event) from Sarah, out of concern that she might interfere.

I will divide this question into two parts: 1) Where do the Jews believe Abraham was to sacrifice his son? -- The Jews believe that Abraham brought Isaac to Mount Moriah in what is today Jerusalem to sacrifice Isaac. The Jews call this mountain the Temple Mount today. 2) What is this Muslim landmark called today? -- The Muslim name for the Temple Mount is the Haram ash-Sharif or the Noble Sanctuary. It sits beneath the Dome of the Rock in the Al-Aqsa Mosque Complex. It is interesting to note that Muslims do not believe that Ishmael was sacrificed at this location, but instead somewhere in Saudi Arabia.

Was jesus crucified on the same mountain Isaiah was supposed to sacrifice his son?
I think you mean, "Abraham sacrificed his son" as there is no record in the Bible of Isaiah sacrificing his son; although neither did Abraham sacrifice his son, though he intended to, but was prevented at the last moment by God. The name of this mountain was not mentioned in the Bible, and was not near Jerusalem, but Jesus was sacrificed on Mt Calvary near Jerusalem.
