Answer: The more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread
See Exodus 1:11-14. The Egyptians' plan in making the Israelites work harder was to prevent them increasing in numbers and becoming a threat (vv8-10). The plan backfired, because it had the opposite effect.
They may have complained or praised God, but this is not mentioned. It is unlikely that slave labourers would be able to work to rule.

Answer: They were more and mightier than the Egyptians
As the book of Exodus started, there was a distinct difference in how Joseph's family was viewed. The Pharaoh in Exodus 1 knew or remembered not the great things Joseph did to save Egypt from the great famine. In verse 1:9, Pharaoh said to his people, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we." Apparently, up to this time, the Israelites were not in bondage.

Worshiping idols can be interpreted as happening when anything that is not God takes a higher place than God in someone's life. It could be models, cars, money, movie stars, sports, etc (Exodus 20:4). In this case, Adam has made an idol of a calf and is literally worshiping it.

Answer: Moses
Here's what it says in Exodus 1:12,22:
"But the more they (Egyptians) afflicted them (Israelites), the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel. So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, 'Every son (of the Israelites) who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.'"
It was during this time that Moses was born, but his life was spared because his mother put him in a basket shortly after he was born and set it in the reeds along the bank of a river. Pharaoh's daughter found him and decided to keep him and raised him as her son. When Moses grew up he went back to his own people. One day he saw an Egyptian mistreating one of the Hebrew people and he killed the Egyptian and fled for his life into the land Midian. He married Zipporah, the daughter of a priest and had a family. He had lived there for forty years when God called him to return to Egypt and secure the release of the Israelites in Exodus 3:10.

Answer: Ask Pharaoh to please let them go
"...you (Moses) and the elders of Israel,(go) to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'" (Exodus 3:18)
Moses had quite a task ahead of him: he first had to convince the Israelites that God had called him and they were to go with him to speak to Pharaoh. God had enabled Moses to do a miraculous sign by casting his rod on the ground, where it would then become a snake. This was pretty convincing to the Israelites but Pharaoh was not impressed with them or their God. He sent them away and, thinking the Israelites had too much time on their hands, he increased their labor, which made them not just a little angry with Moses.
