Does winning all your division games in the NFL make you first in that division?

No. It is only the overall record that matters when it comes to Division Championships.
A team could conceivably win every divisional matchup, yet lose every other game for a record of 6-10, while another team in the same division could lose every divisional matchup, but win every other game for a record of 10-6 and head to the playoffs as the Division Champions (if the other two teams' records were 9-5 or worse).
The division games do matter in the case of a tie for the best record in the division, as the head to head record is the first tiebreaker for entry to the playoffs and seeding.

How many Games do you have to win in Baseball Playoffs?
As far as MLB is concerned, winning percentage doesn't really enter in to whether a team makes the playoffs or not. A team makes the playoffs by winning their division or being the team with the highest winning percentage of those other teams that did not win their division. There have been teams to make the playoffs with a record as 'poor' as 83-78, as did the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals who went on to win the World Series. There have been teams with records as good as 94-68 (1982 Baltimore Orioles) that did not make the playoffs. That goes to show that a team with a winning percentage of just over .500 can make the playoffs where a team with a winning percentage of .580 can miss the playoffs.
Can you win your division and not make the nba playoffs?

So, to answer you question: No, the division winner is always in the top 4 ranking of their conference.

Who does the wildcard team play in the MLB playoffs?
That would depend on what team has the best winning percentage in the league. Generally, the wild card team plays the division winner with the best winning percentage. However, if the division winner with the best winning percentage is in the same division as the wild card team, then the wild card team will play the division winner with the second best winning percentage and the division winner with the best winning percentage will play the other division winner. MLB is the only major sport that sets up their playoff system this way. This would keep the Yankees and Red Sox from playing in the first round of the playoffs.

What is the record you have to have to make the NFL playoffs?
Playoff berths are awarded according to conference ranking, not records. The top six seeds in each conference make the playoffs, no matter what their records are. That includes the four division winners and two wild card teams (the non-division winners with the two best records). In theory, it's possible to not win a single game and still make the playoffs! Every team in a division would have to go 0-10-6, with every team tying every other team in the division and losing all their games outside the division. Strength of schedule would be the first tiebreaker to kick in to determine a division winner.
