Is Muhammad's hajj similar to today's hajj?

Yes, the hajj that Muhammad made is the same way that Muslims today make hajj. Muslims got the steps of hajj through Prophet Muhammad (S), from many hadith, or sayings, of the Prophet. There are many, so see the link below, which links to Sahih Bukhari, a book which contains the authentic sayings of Muhammad (S). The link takes you to the chapter on hajj, where you can see the hadith about how the Prophet performed his pilgrimage, which is how Muslims do today.

It is better not to do so. Hajj is obligatory just once in life.

You may visit Mecca to perform Umra, if you like. Better spend this money to help your needy relatives, the poor and the needy.
