Answer 1

Hi there!

Native speaker here!

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! would be Happy Birthday!

Schon mal fruezeitig alles Gute zum Geburtstag!

Would  mean "I wish you Happy Birtday in advance "

It is slightly colloquial - so you have to kind of know the person well.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You can figure this out with a German dictionary..

Look up "early," then "happy" and then "birthday."

Viel spass!

Answer 3

I just answered another question like that a couple of days ago, and while the other answere is correct in her answer, you would have to know the person very well to say that to them. Germans don't congratulate each other before their actual birthday is there. It has nothing to do with bad luck or something, as some others would likely tell you, it is just considered very rude. Germans never do that. Even if the person having a birthday is partying into their birthday, nobody would congratulate them or give them presents before it isn't actually midnight.
