The eventual diet was grass and hay just like today.

But the answer would depend on how prehistoric the horse was. The original horses were fox-sized browsers who ate leaves. Eventually they began to evolve into grazers, and during this period likely ate a variety of leaves and grasses. Once the evolutionary process was done, the horse was a full time grazer and its diet consisted of grass. Hay was not used until horses were fully domesticated and humans moved into growing crops.

Were prehistoric horses faster than modern horses?

Prehistoric horses were much smaller. The horses we see today have one toe ( the hoof) and a remnant of another (the chestnut). Horses from that time had multiple toes, and as they evolved, they had less and less toes. To answer your question, that would be no. Horses in these periods are much faster that they were then.
