No, Norwegian comes from the old Icelandic language that was spoken
all over the Nordic countries in the Viking times.

It was norwegians who discovered Iceland, so icelandic is a newer version of
the old Norse language or old icelandic.

Yes, and modern Norwegian is a still newer version of the old Norse (or
old Icelandic), not "old Norwegian", old Norwegian is not the same as
"Old Norse" but old Icelandic is.
