1. If I remember correctly, The Feast of Tabernacles, The Feast of Pentecost, and the Feast of Passover.
2. Well I don't think David established/built it right? Solomon did that, and as to where, I don't know. But it was a place that had some significance I think, but basically it was in Jerusalem.... let's see...

"Abraham journeys three days from Beershiva or Garet to Mt. Moriah (the Temple Mount) in Jerusalem to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice in obedience to God's command. God provides a substitute. (Genesis 22, Hebrews 11:8-19)" via http://www.templemount.org/history.htm

So it seems that it was built on the place where Abraham was tested and whatnot, then it makes sense for God to place the Temple right there as that was sort of a climatic point in Abraham's life and in the spectrum of God's plan or whatever for His creation.

Don't know the answer to your question though regarding Altal during Jesus' time or if this is the Altal you are asking about.

1. Jews have 7 feasts, 4 in spring and 3 in the fall.
Passover
Unleavened bread
Feast of First fruits
Pentecost
Feast of trumpets
Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
Feast of Tabernacles

2. David prepared the site for the Temple and prepared all the materials, but was not allowed to construct it. The temple site david prepared is the same place we call the temple mount today. 1 Chronicles 21:18-30 David bought it from a man named Ornan who was using it as a threshing floor. The Jews say that it is the spot where Abraham offered Issac, but Isaac was offered at the peak of Mt. Moriah and the temple mount is about 70 feet from the peak of the mountain. If you leave the temple mount and travel about 70 feet to the actual peak of Mt. Moriah you will be standing on the spot where Abraham offered Isaac. It's called Golgatha.

3. The first time Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible is in Genesis 14, When Abraham has to go free Lot who has been captured in a battle. On his way back he runs into a man named Melchizedek, King of Salem. Salem means "peace". This city becomes a Jebusite city later and eventually it is taken by the Isrealites when they take over Canaan. It has been renamed Jerusalem which means, "city of peace".

4. Solomon's temple was destroyed by Babylon. Later Zerubabel rebuilt in the same spot. This was added on to by Herod and became known as Herod's temple which was present when Jesus was on earth. The altar was just outside this temple, pretty much on the same spot as it was with Solomon's.
