Who Would Christ "Have Been" If Man Did Not Fall?

Through God's foreknowledge, yes.
However you slice it...as long as it's understood that it was...

...according to the covenant made between them...
...the Father and the Son. That's eternal covenant , meaning that the Father's only begotten was eternally begotten for the purpose of offering His body as a sacrifice for sins.

...But if God hadn't given man free will to choose His own way there never would have been sin, and no need for Him in that role...
I would agree that free will, will always end in sin.

We basically agree. I'm sure we could go further and find disagreement.

Yes, only Adam and Eve had “free will”, the rest of us have been corrupted- yes even our minds

There would still had been sin, the Devil and his followers, Matthew 25:41, . . everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels . . .

Supposing no fall of man.

Angles are a different creation and are dealt with in a different way, and Hell was created for them, not man.

But all men will be with their father in the end.

No sin on the earth was never possible being that God gave man free will to choose his own way.
