Opinion:

As Joshua 3:1 mentions 'Acacia Grove' which is Shittim in the Hebrew, some have thought this place to be on the Eastern side of the Jordan in Ammon (modern Jordan). He makes the Israelite camp at Gilgal which means he travelled west. His first campaign is the central one against Jericho, Bethel, and Ai all west of the Jordan. Now on the western side, he does his southern campaign against cities as far south as Debir.

How are Joshua leading the Israelites across the Jordan River and Moses leading them across the Red Sea the same?

Some of the key biblical events around Moses had quite close parallels in the story of Joshua. In the Exodus story, Joshua accompanied Moses onto the mountain, and was the only person other than Moses who could enter the tabernacle. In the Book of Exodus, Moses held out his rod and parted the Red Sea. The importance of the priests was given greater emphasis in the Book of Joshua, and as soon as their feet touched the waters of the Jordan, the waters stopped flowing and the people could cross. In the first case, parting the water allowed the Israelites to cross over and defeat the Egyptians who were pursuing them; in the second case, parting the water allowed the Israelites to cross over and defeat the Canaanites who were before them.
