What might happen if the House of Representatives had never been formed and only the Senate represented the people?

It would mean that every state has equal representation. This would mean no proportional representation for the people because every state only has 2 senators. Therefore, most of the bills probably would not be passed (filibusters and such) because or regional desires.

Who has more power House of Representatives or the Senate?
Neither really has "more" power. They have differentpowers. Neither of them can really "overrule" the other, because generally they have to agree for anything to happen. For example, only the House can impeach an elected official, but only the Senate can convict someone who has been impeached. The House and Senate must agree in order to remove someone from office; if the House impeaches them but the Senate doesn't convict them, then nothing happens, and if the House doesn't impeach them in the first place then the Senate can't convict them so again nothing happens.There are certain things that are reserved to either the House or Senate, but again, it's not really a question of "more power".That said: Senators serve (normally) for six years, while Representatives serve for only two. There are far fewer Senators than Representatives, so each Senator's vote has more "weight" than each Representative's does. The Senate is considered the "Upper" chamber of the Legislative branch. For all these reasons, it's not entirely wrong to say the Senate has more power ... but it's not entirely right, either.

Why is it important that both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate agree to a bill before it is sent to the president?
The U.S. has 3 government powers.... President, House of Representatives & Senate. It is to make sure no one has all the power. For instance, if the President wants to sell Alaska to another country one of the other powers would have to agree before it could happen. Also, if the House & Senate want to sell Alaska the President could veto. This is just an example. There is no plan to sell Alaska that I am aware of!
What happen when the senate and the house disagree on a bill?
When the Senate and the House of Representatives disagree on a bill, they may form a conference committee to reconcile the differences.

Does the senate decide the president if there's a tie?
In the US, it would be difficult for this to happen due to the way the election process works. However, in the event that no candidate receives a simple majority of the electoral vote (much more likely, and in fact it's happened twice), the president is determined by vote in the House of Representatives, with each state, regardless of the number of representatives, having only one vote.
