Yessir. They're both about our Beloved Christ.
Discussing the Trinity is not easy. Jesus, Christ, and the Spirit are separate, yet they are all one.
The best way that I can describe this is to associate it with ourselves. We have the body, mind, and spirit. When asked how we are, we randomly answer according to which of the 3 we feel like describing. Sometimes we say we're doing great . . . but that's because something really cool happened and it has made us happy. Sometimes we say that we're doing horrible, but that's because of some kind of physical pain, such as a toothache, back or neck pain. Sometimes we say that we're doing great, but that is in relation to our spirit, which is able to cry out, "Abba Father."

Jesus is the Son of God because Christ the Spirit was made in the likeness of a human. The Human Christ was submissive to God, yet the Spirit of Christ is God in the flesh.
Colossians 1:19 NLT - "For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ . . ."
Colossians 2:9 NLT - "For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body."
You ask wonderful questions! I wish all people were like yourself.

If Jesus died for everyone's sin, that means Jesus had access to every person to ever live, past and future. For Jesus to access that sin (information), He might need something that was inside everyone to hand that information over. I think Jesus was already in humans from Adam and Eve. The Avatar would be a good answer.
I think the purpose of the Garden was to start humans that had a way to transmit their sins to the final Adam on the cross. God the Father isn't a fan of this fallen place, so gaining that knowledge was not something He wanted to do. For Jesus to have the sins for sacrifice, a different way to bare the sins was put in place.
