Synonyms of "Lunch" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between have lunch
and do lunch ?
and do lunch ?
A:
There is no real difference when it comes to making a proposition to someone. That is, you can just as easily say "Hey, let's do lunch!" or "Hey, let's have lunch". The first comes across as slightly less informal and may seem to suggest that you go somewhere else and have lunch (rather than eating what you brought), but they're basically the same.
However, you cannot really "do lunch" by yourself. "Doing lunch" seems to imply making an event out of lunch with other people. So if you said something like "I had lunch" you could not say "I did lunch". But if you said something like "We had lunch" you could say "We did lunch". I'm not sure if there're any formal rules for how to use it, though. "Doing lunch" is definitely slang so it only sounds right where it's become normal to use it

Q:
What is the difference between I have eaten lunch at 10:00. and I ate lunch at 10:00 ?
A:
"I ate lunch at 10:00" Natural and correct. Simple past tense. The action is over and finished.
"I have eaten lunch at 10:00". Not correct. "Have eaten" is the present perfect tense and needs to be tied to the present somehow. You can say;
"I have eaten lunch at 10:00 every day this week", because this week is still going on in the present.
"I have always eaten lunch at 10:00", because always is still going on in the present.
"I have eaten lunch at 10:00 since I was a child", because "since" means from then until now, in the present.

I wouldn't say its particularly common to make someone food, unless you know they are a good cook and they like cooking. Making someone food randomly would be considered odd where I'm from... unless you're very close, like a close friend, family, family-friend, girlfriend/ boyfriend or a partner.
If they are known to be a good cook, or you are close, then you could say: "Instead of money, you could buy or make me some lunch."
