Answer 1

Roots in the Old Testament? Yes.

Our father - the Jews saw God as their father

Who is in heaven - yes the Jews believed in heaven

Your kingdom come - yes the Jews were looking forward to a time when the kingdom of God will be on earth.

and so on.

Jesus came primarily to the Jews so his teaching is based on concepts that the Jews already knew about.

After Jesus' death then salvation based on his death became the way of salvation this was a new concept to the Jews.

Answer 2

If you look at just the words and their base meanings, there is nothing blasphemous (from a Jewish perspective) about the Lord's Prayer. It mentions nothing of a Trinity, the Sacrifice of Christ, Eternal Damnation, Hell, or Ending the Law. Jews currently object to saying the Lord's Prayer because that prayer is a symbol for Christianity, not because of anything inherent in the prayer itself.
