hmm...
My family is christian so i'll try to answer these.
Yes. Its written in the bible. Its more acceptable for some people because many poeple believe that murder is wrong - not because its a social nusiance - but because it actually is "WRONG".
Erm not entirely sure what you mean by this. However one viewpoint is that the commandments in the bible were actually just common sense i.e only eat kosher meat becuase its more healty etc and that is why they because so important. However since a christian person believes that morality comes from god then probally the origin has nothing to do with value.
In the christian sense god defines what is right and wrong. He created people in his own image etc... there is no "agreements" god doesn't have to be fair/unfair.
Almost all of it is interpretable. Hence different denominations.
God judges people according to his morality. He has the "right" because he is god.
Well in the Bible God creates people, they start doing bad things. God get angry. God sends his son jesus to die thus atoning for those sins. Thats prety much the story. So I suppose that morality comes from god. god is just and judges people if they break his morality. Forgiveness is when god gives you another chance having broken the moral code.

Does morality come from religion? How? Is this more acceptable than an evolutionary view?

Does the origin of morality has to do with its value?

Why can morality that's (also) regarding behaviour between humans, be formulated by a higher being? Do agreements not have to be made between the parties that are involved (in stead of by a third party)?

In how much is this kind of morality universal, in how much is it interpretable?
Almost all of it is interpretable. Hence different denominations.
What's the relation between morality and 'judging'? Does only the law maker have the 'right' to judge? Why?
God judges people according to his morality. He has the "right" because he is god.
What's the relation between morality and justification and forgiveness? What is 'just', what is 'kind'?
