They brought sacrifices with them when they left captivity., so yeah, they sacrificed in the wilderness. They borrowed the tradition from their heathen captors.

Time will tell.

No... Way before that. Cain and Abel, AFAIR... I believe a guy named Abraham built an alter to the Lord... He was not a captive, nor borrowed the custom from the heathens... It was by the Lord's order. There are plenty of sacrifices mentioned prior to the institution of the Levitical system. And these offerings do not necessarily have the language of a sin offering - These are not necessarily for the remission of sin. Quite often these alters were just as thanks and recognition.
