So, we know Pharasma created the current multiverse, and the First World was made before the current Prime Material Plane. So, did she create the First World (and the Eldest) first? Also, the First World is described as a "rough draft" of the Prime. Is that why it's so weird and messed up in general?

She didn't specifically create any of the planes. She just got the ball rolling. The Qlippoth, Angels, Axiomites, and Proteans coalesced into existence and the gods that spawned from there went on to refine the rest of the multiverse. As usual, Pharasma played a very passive role. You can read this stuff in Concordance of Rivalsm

Legacy of the First World explains how the First World was created. It was just the practice plane prior to making the Material, which is indeed why it's a mess of all manner of weird stuff. When the gods went on to make the Material, they just abandoned it. So the fey there were very resentful about being dumped by the gods, and some of their own kind (the Eldest) became substitute demigods instead.
And because the First World and the fey aren't connected to the River of Souls, fey don't die; they just reincarnate. So they have a rather casual view of death and don't really appreciate it like mortals.
EDIT...actually, wrong book. This is all in The First World Realm Of The Fey.
I believe this thread will shed some light on it: https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh26?The-Windsong-Testaments-Rage -of-Creation#discuss.
Is the "inner sphere" the Prime Material Plane?

The Inner Sphere consists of the Elemental Planes (Fire, Earth, Water, Air), the Material, the Shadow, the First World, the Positive and Negative Energy planes, and the Ethereal Plane.

Pharasma has very little to do with the First World because death doesn't really exist there for the natives. In fact, (possibly apocyrphally) what got gnomes exiled from the First World was trying to smuggle a little bit of death into the First World, for novelty purposes, which got Pharasma's attention.

Would explain why they often some across a total psychos to mortals. If dying is just a nuisance to you, and you assume everyone else is like that, you'd probably be pretty blase about killing people as well.
