It's late at night where I am so I'll have to get to this sometime tomorrow.
In the meantime, others may chime in as well.
Briefly - Being forgiven for sin is a process, that includes acknowledging your sin, confessing it to G-d and striving to not repeat it.
Also, the word "sin" is used too generally in English translations. The Hebrew bible describes several different types.
I'm not sure I understand your last question -
"Lastly, is the old testament a translation of the Hebrew bible or are they completely different?"
There is only one Hebrew bible and it is made up of 3 different parts. In English called The Five Books of Moses, The Prophets and The Writings.
So maybe the answer is yes being the words "old testament" is a Christian invention and they do translate many things differently in the Hebrew bible.
