Why did a universal creator god who wants his glory to be spread to all nations of earth only reveal himself to one chosen family in the middle east?

Because a big part of religion is faith

No, that's why people suspend their disbelief about it. Faith is not an explanation of why a rational actor would pursue his goals in an inefficient way.

If God is real ...

how can we assume to understand anything other than what an omnipotent, all-knowing supreme being gives us?

I think its a bit silly to indulge the fact God exists, even just for a topic, then turn around and question why an omnipotent, all-knowing supreme being decided conduct things the way he did

If God is real, how can we even be sure that He is the God? He's omnipotent to our feeble minds, but he could easily be a small fish in a big pond of Gods who convinced some dumb humans to worhip him.

This is perfectly reasonable, but it hardly takes it to it's full conclusion. If we are to accept that God's reasoning is beyond our understanding, then we must also accept that our ability to interpret the bible, and even the intent or honesty of God's words within it, are a fruitless endeavor. If we don't believe God is a rational actor by our standards, then there is to reason to believe the bible is a work of rationality either.
