No. Nehemiah's wall was a fortification structure that surrounded the Old City of Jerusalem and has since been completely destroyed. The Western Wall is a retaining wall within the city to make the Great Temple esplanade level.

That would make the area within the walls of Jerusalem about 960 acres, 1.5 sq mi. Many archeologists believe that the walls of Jerusalem were about the same in both Nehemiah's day and Jesus' day.
