What other prophets existed before Jesus and did his story actually derive from another so called messiah?
A number of prophets existed before Jesus such as Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel etc.
Much has been made of similarities found in other religions both in terms of their gods and the symbolism attached to some of their rituals etc. Superficially there are similarities but the true meaning of anything either pagan or Christian is in the context.
In the context and the true meaning of Jesus' person and work He is utterly unique. For example, Muhammed, Buddha, and Confucius, though great teachers are all dead. Jesus lives. They also pointed to a path or a teaching which originated outside of themselves. Jesus Himself is 'The way, the truth and the life.' John 14 v6.
Other religions also in a general sense involve attainment through some system of religious works, exercises or worship (including self-realization). This means that an individual can attain whatever the purpose of that religion is, by their own efforts. The way of following Jesus in contrast is quite the reverse as it teaches that 'all our righteousness is as filthy rags' and so Jesus did what we could never do by dieing a horrible death on the cross for us. The power to follow also comes from without through the Holy Spirit which is given to those who believe.

What is the religions view on Jesus?
Christianity thinks Jesus was the Messiah (Christ), and son of God, who died on the cross taking on the sins off the World. Judaism thinks he was an ordinary man, not the Messiah, but a Rabbi (teacher). Jews are still waiting for the Messiah to come. Islam thinks he was a prophet of god, like Muhammad, only Muhammad is their main prophet and there will not be any more prophets. Muslims don't think that the prophets were any more than human. In scientific and historical sense it's quite possible, even though not convincingly certain, that Jesus really existed, but he was just a man, not a son of god, and didn't rise from his grave.
